What would my Def look like if.....

Hi all, new member, and I've been inspired by Ken's Bowler and Lambley's wheels thread so her goes. I was wondering what my dream wheels would look like with a few mods, so starting with a Green 90 that happens be on Boosts and with chequer plate, I've added a white roof, roll bar, privacy glass and of course Bowler 18". All with the magic of photo software - the ultimate try before you buy !
This could be whole new industry.
Before

After (not sure about the white roof?)

Try an Indus silver roof, it would go VERY well with that colour & the (silver) chequre plate.

Two more choices, just add silver roof - not sure, or leave as green roof - better

Yeah, I second that - leave the roof green, paint the sills green and do the privacy glass. Nice truck. 2005 110 XS - Cairns Blue "Bertha" - Gone, and sorely missed

Hi Orchard, great idea, have been wanting to do the same myself. I have been uming and ahing about a re-spray, plus I am also a fan of Bowler accessories and am considering a 2m rack or full SD roll cage (on my 110). As such, that gives me three colour options (if including the original white, which I still like), plus all kinds of other wheel/rack/cage configurations. As such, which software did you use?

I've not been everywhere, but it's on my list.....

Hi Grenadier, ok don't laugh - the software is 'Gimp',

free to download. Easy to use and you need to find reasonable definition images to cut and paste.

Thanks Orchard.

Who the hell thought of that as a name?

Hopefully I don't type it into Google and then die at the keyboard, my wife would get completely the wrong idea....
