Two Tone Tribe is an unknown quantity at this point
Default Two Tone Paint

What are peoples thoughts on cars which have a white main body and a black hood, roof and bonnet, or the other way around? could of course work for any pair of colours but i prefer the balck and white combination. also do you think that a paint job like this would attract too much unwanted attention from the police?

looks good on dtm or jap styled cars.

would the police be interested if it was painted on a completely stock car? i guess it depends with what else you have

I like the look. There is a new trend of partly painting the bonnet black in the middle following the curves and lines in the bonnet design going wide just below the windscreen and then following this over the roof.

I'm looking into black on purple as I think this will work well.

Most visual Modifications get police attention if it makes the car look like its driven by a joyrider, subtle and stylish Modifications are not necessarily going to get you tugged more often.

Nottingham Taxis used to have black bonnets in the mid 1980's. Made a Ford Sierra look quite funky.

As for the police I wish they'd spend more time pursuing proper criminals. There's any number of respectable standard looking Escorts and Astras out there with no insurance or MOT. Why the hell do they hassle us modded car folks?

Blimey, if I was a joyrider I'd pick an anonymous car to avoid detection
