nice one Mickupnorth, i am also from the north (british west hartlepool) - i have moved down south now but get up there quite alot and always enjoy going over the Tees flyover and seeing the beauty that is Portrack and Haverton Hill. i love to go to the home town of monkey-hangers. nice to see a fellow northerner in the CEG.
joking apart, that is where Ridley Scott got the inspiration for the scenes on Bladerunner, with all the industrial areas and steel works blowing flames out the chimneys late at night!

Very original. A little excessive on the gold (IMO) but not bad looking at all.

Same opinion here. The gold rims are OK but the rest is too gaudy (IMHO  ). Love the car though!

I think it looks pretty good. The gold rims make it look like a Subaru.

My first thought, was NOOOOOO not yellow/gold! But since it is pretty uniform on the car it looks okay. My only suggestion is painting the front oval (which is usually chrome on the US Contours) the same color. Why didn't you go silver? Or chrome? I like it though...pretty original. What does it dyno at?
