Graphics/Color accent help!

Hey Guys/Gals, I have True Blue R60 with Black roof. I plasti dipped the rimes and all the chrome black (i will load picture eventually!). I am now unfortunately bored with the look of my car as their have been many new R60s in my area... I would like to get my mini to stand out, I have added several Performance parts and am looking to make my R60 a Rally inspired car (Slowly mind you, not looking to compete... just like to drift off road and drive rally style ).I'm looking for accent color to pick out, and unfortunately not sure what would go good with the true blue. I have considered going Orange with the graphics and then dipping my wheels Orange to keep a Blue/Black/Orange theme... But I have no idea! BTW the Graphics I found are on http://houseofgrafx.com they are reasonably priced.

Any suggestions are welcome!

I will load pictures after I get a wash... Girls got salt all over! and snow In all the right places after a late night driver in the recent snow storm!

I have a 12 true blue with black roof and wheels. I am getting racing stripes next week in black with dark grey as an accent color to match my black jack mirrors. Would love to see some pics of your car!

You could always play with the color wheel to help give you ideas of what accent color to go with. https://color.adobe.com/. Maybe play around with something monochromatic, maybe graphics that are just a little off color to give them a kinda ghostly effect, kinda like what the police do

adding cobra stripes as opposed to the factory ones really make a huge difference. i also find that subtle accent colors are more my style.

rimblades, jcw side stripes and red 4


plastidip striped roof box



personally, i'd joey mod your head lights black first, add a jcw chin and white cobra stripes, the new led driving lights with the X cover would look pretty sweet too.

Pull out your brake duct inserts and replace or paint them an accent color
