Photoshop HELP!

Hey guys, I've been toying around with ways to make my Mini even more distinct I'm in love with headturners and like when people notice me.
I know most of you will hate, but i'm curious how this would look.



could somone photoshop the rims and mirror caps to lime green?

This color?

I thought you were good at Photoshop...!!

Use the lasso tool, draw a circle around the mirror cap, & mess with the levels in hue/saturation till it matches the color you want. 30 second photoshopping! I don't have PS on the computer I'm on at work otherwise I'd do it for you.

I think you should do the brakes the same color too.

I kind of like it, But just the mirrors and rims looks incomplete. A small touch is needed somewhere else .... Not much. Maybe the hood scoop or just a grill badge or window decal? This green is one of my favorite colors right now so I may not be judging with long term living with it on your Mini in mind......

I did the Roof and the engine grill rims, and I stared at it for a bit and it just reminds me of a Joker Mobile minus the purple. Odd.

I agree it needs a little more to pull it together. Badge would be good or maybe headlight rings, or brake ducts. That said I think lime green looks more at home on a black car, or ideally, on a VW

Maybe green on the bonnet and boot badges could give it that third little pop.

Not a huge fan after seeing the wheels. I still think the mirror caps/calipers would kick *** though.
