Beauty of decals...all removable if I want it Back in Black; in the meantime good paint protection from car park door dings by dipsticks.

When you started to explain what you wanted I feared the worst TBH!

Then the pic showing the Mowtown Missile decal appeared..........I actually think it looks kinda cool!!! 8-)

I also like the other side, but not sure on the same car (one livery or another for me as I'm a bugger for symmetry).

Look forward to seeing in!!!! :thumbright:

The Motown Missile side works well, I like that, stops the car looking quite so "fat". The other side I hate, but then I dislike most "modern" graphics anyway, and as for black wheels on a black car, too much blackness for me....

Think you could take it one step further.......(well on the motown side anyway)

The wheels on your challenger seem to have a flat 5 spoke surface with a tapered side. Maybe look at either the spokes or the tapered side going yellow (not sure if vinyl works on wheels).

I'd go for black on the flat and yellow on the taper.............May work may not........but it looks good in me head!!! :thumbright:

Hmm, you have to be very careful with colour on wheels, it rarely looks good. I remember a mate of mine had a Chevy suburban painted orange with white panels, he painted the 10 spoke wheels orange as well it looked awful and was known as the Circus truck from then on...

Certainly leaving the black wheels alone. If money allows in the future I would go for a set of older slot mag styled wheels with chunkier tyres.
