Looking at the colour and the doors & boot I'd say there was a donor car involved. It's not like a donor can would cost much

Understand the reason to keep it green to maintain the car's identity, but I reckon silver would be more saleable and you could do it to match dangerous's


Whatever color it is though, its going to be cool

Nice work on the roof, looks like a fantastic job from the little you can see in the pics

Definately a fashion faux pas painting it that shade of yellow.
