What I'm going to do to my Smart

I love blue. Eric loves yellow. I wanted to name my blue Smart Dory (from Finding Nemo), but that wouldn't work for a solid yellow Smart. But after watching the movie again last night I realized that Dory is blue with a yellow tail and yellow tips on her pectoral fins. Ah-ha! The PERFECT solution came to me.

Here's a Photoshop rendering I did to show what my little Dory is going to look like.



See what I mean:



All I need now are brown pupils to stick on the bottom corners of the headlights.

OMG! That's Awesome! Dory is a great character and what great character for a smart car! Will you buy an extra set of panels or just have 1/2 of your panels painted the other color. Really Cool! "I wish I could speak whale".

Ver very nice. Do another photoshop reversing the colors and post it. Maybe it will look as good. If so, maybe you'll find someone to swap panels.

Except I figure I want a full set of both colors, so I can have a Dory car, a yellow car, or a blue car. That's three cars in one!

I just replaced my blue panels with some yellow ones and actually thought about doing something similar but decided not to at the last minute, but I like your wheels and exhaust.

Wow, that is really cool. Go with the two toned Blue and Yellow.

Someone could do a "Blue Angel's Blue and Gold"

You can also get car wraps. That way you can also have the texture and make it more fish like.
