Yes, you could change the color with Photoshop.

You are right about the centercaps, they are fake. I took the liberty of collecting the pictures, take a look:
http://www.kjella.net/nyea8/

Notice how the centercaps look like they are stationary on some of them? Notice how the four rings of the caps have the excact same, vertical position? They couldn't look like that if the car was moving.

Now, take a look at the grille and the four rings there on the various pictures. Notice how they are off center? To low and to much to one side. Looks very manipulated. The grille itself does have proportions on some pictures that indicates a stretch job.

Count the number of grille ribs on these two:

Yes, they are not the same. How come?

This could of course be cosmetic done by the magazine to brush up a camouflaged car, but it makes me a bit suspicious.

Default Re: Photoshop challenge!

I took a stab at it and took off the white stripes. Looks much better IMHO.

Default Kjella, you've said it all...

...the earlier previews (Photoshopped, I know) really seem to stir something in me. Pheaton did the same. Final judgement I guess will be around September in Paris.
