Citroen DS3 inspired paint job

So after watching Top Gear zoom around the Monaco Grand Prix the other day, I wondered what my little bean would look like with a similar paint scheme...

Citroen DS3 Racing:


...on the Yaris:


Not nearly as cool, but interesting nonetheless...

Rims and tires are throwin' it off. Tires needs to be lower profile and OZ type rally rims plus lowered.... Then it might all click.

I like it...wrap an LED strip for driving lights around the side of the fog bezels and that would finish it off which can be technically done

I think the orange on top should be only within the rain tracks and the wheels aren't my cup of tea, but I like the color scheme...

No sir. The top version with orange wheels best.

Disagree - the bottom version is better mainly cos of the black rims and understated body.

Try adding a small racing stripe to the bottom version, just to see what happens?

I kind of like it, myself. But I wouldn't paint the side. I like the black accent. Try a black spoiler on the bottom version, and a couple of very narrow racing stripes on the side?

Try blacking out your front bumper as well. Unlike the Citroen, the Yaris has a sizable gap between the top and bottom grill. That grey hood space between needs to disappear. A blacked out front might help.

Less is more, and what you have done with the roof works much better IMO. Plus, the side stripes are awesome

And the wheels rule!

That's just beautiful!!
