As Mamodman said 'Looks great Tmuir although I think the wheels are a little plain? Might just be me though'
I would have to say I agree.
The big question is to what colour?
I think I am leaning toward red but what does everyone else think?
Edit//
I've had a bit of a think and narrowed it down to 3 colours,just had a quick play with photo shop and made these picks excuse the roughness of them but its just to get an idea.
Have a vote what colour you like best.
Now I've done this I'm leaning to black

red would detract from the nice shade of blue  Try and get as close a colour to the SL2 as possible I think  |

| Lime green is the obvious colour to paint them |

| Its gotta be black, more in keeping with the overall look. |

I tend to aggree but, in this case, I think that particular shade of blue is so awfull it needs something to balance it, so I vote for red! (Sorry folks, I just don't like pastel blue  )

The Blue looks awful on the wheels, it takes away detail.
Red or black is the choice, and i opted for red

If you mix them you'll get a dark purple.
