I went for a similar look for my old 360.

Both the Porsche and Volvo have complimentary 'bright work' though and IMO that is the difference.

For your Metro, I'd stick with black. It ties in well with the rest of the car.

Love the 360 there.

I was thinking that too. Could almost be an album cover. Just need the parental guidance logo in one corner and the title METROSEXUAL in an 80s font in the middle. 

If the title was in proper 7-segment display-like turquoise font, it would be perfect. I'd love to have a try at doing that but this laptop I'm using would have a heart attack just trying to edit the photo!

Perhaps something @robinmasterscould do? 😁

Maybe better with just this bit....

Subconciously from your sweet buying days long gone, you know that is not true.
Remember Fruit Salad sweets ?

I was going to suggest if it was an Austin flavoured Metro I'd have done Hot pink and Acid Yellow as an homage to that crazy 80's fashion

Getting better and better by the day!

One small criticism if I may, the little triangle above the rear door handles really ought to be black too. Was it black paint or a piece of trim originally?

On the (massive) to-do list.

The original black vinyl there was badly damaged, but was being a pig to remove, so just sprayed over for now and I'm planning on peeling and repainting at some point when I have more patience.

Sorry to everyone who thinks this turns me into a fairy godmother or something, but that looks ace, and much better than how it started.

This X 1000

Over the years I've had four variants on the Metro theme and have always had a soft spot for them.  It's great to see this little car improving bit by bit.

Great job on the sills and bumpers!
