I have seen a blue car painted like that Wolfy, but I have no pictures.

For me it does not work. It looks too much like a ricer drifter Nissan 240X with a carbon hood. OK if you like that sort of thing, I suppose.

I actually like the idea of reducing the black. I think the black roof looks good, but with the bootlid and side plastic body coloured. When you darken all the glass and the roof is black, the effect is to accentuate the "cockpit" effect of the glass canopy.In all the SVXes I have seen I've only ever noticed one like this in the UK, nowhere else. Must check if I have a picture saved.

This would look very sweet in the later Bright Silver with no rear spoiler. Now that would be sweet.
