Tricky to execute maybe, but paint and frame detailing will be killer.
I'm more of a fan of the subtler look at the moment, but my opinion is just that. A dark metallic with a come hither look to it as opposed to shredding your eyeballs out. Slowly draws you in closer to the bike to look at all the detailing. This is it. The sleeper look, just like the GTI was. A rapid shred machine that could still make the eggs in the boot into an omelette.

Yeah, the green looks really dull and almost black under artificial light. It's very metallic tho, so will be completely different in the sun. Excited to see what it looks like in the daylight myself! My paintwork is mostly a very nocturnal past time tho, so I never really see what most projects look like in the sunlight til they're finished!
I think this is the simplest paint scheme I've ever done too, so getting a strong main colour is key I think. I've also never done a 'theme' before (unless you count the 90's Genesis I recently did)... Hope it all comes together as planned! Was thinking about doing some crossed red stripes on the back end of the mudguard that loosely mimic the VW logo, but think that might push it over the edge.
It's a lot more green than it looks in my photos...
