Brain farting ideas on maybe sprucing up the looks of my car. Thought it might be fun to get opinions from you all. Just playing around.

Inviting Photoshop people to add these changes and post your work. I can't visualize it for some reason.

Also please give your opinion. really want to know what the opinions are; I see a lot of "it's your car; do as you want".

Car is not original; it's got webers, bodywork, different engine block, no heat, door panels.

Just a slightly hot street setup.

Quickest way to visualize colors on the 914 is to use the 914 VISUALIZER by nathansnathan

I'm not a fan of stripes and stickers, or adding paint to 4-lug Fuchs. But if I had to make a second choice, it would be the green.

Screen capture with the "Print Screen" key usually above the number pad. That puts the image in memory. Then paste it into Photoshop or other software. Crop and resize.

Should work the same. In Photoshop, you have to open a NEW document (or have one open and active) that the image is then pasted into - press CTRL-V
Not sure how it works on other software (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

EDIT: I just tried it in Paint. Did PrntScrn and then opened Paint and then EDIT>PASTE

All these pics look good.

They are not FUCHS; copies where the insert areas are a bit textured.

Stupid me I painted them black; they were light grey before when I bought them...paddles and rims are polished.

Is there a way to take the paint off without having to do the whole wheel over?
