Im thinking about doing mine all black with green wheels. Might go for a number on it but not sure.
Its prolly the most difficult part of the "task"
Which color to choose.

i heard somewhere that some insurance policies are invalid if you put a number on a vehicle as it gives the impression of racing which insurers will not cover

Well im looking at getting the outside of the rims themselves, just about the tyre polished, then the rest of the rim in metallic purple. Altho i might go metalic black as if i get the money i might wanna go for a green and black paintjob and dont wanna fork out to have the rims done again.

do the rims yourself mate and save some cash.
i've made the decision a bit easier today by removing all the pink (apart from the zxr logo).

I like the idea of gloss fairings but just the tank in matt, i think it would look proper slick!
Plus i've never seen it done b4 so it'll be unique
