I personally like the 123's the way they came from the factory.

The paint scheme. I think the two tone on the 123 would be hard to make look good. You going to run into a problem in the front of the car. You may have a few spots where the two colors butt up against each other.
I have pondered the white top look a few times, but I don't think I would work.
I've thought about a two-tone on my 80, I was thinking painting the whole car a dark green, then doing the roof in white.

What was I thinking?? Even in Photoshop that's a hella lotta work.

Side skirts you say, Mr. Dub Mutant, if I understand you correctly. Two tone metallic flake? 15" inch matching metal flake rims and 6-way hydraulics, drop-kit too, rolled fenders and my mind's on my money and my money's on my mind. That whip won't hunt fella. Better get in touch with Anarchy.

I saw a two tone 123 for sale a while back. It looked pretty good. But I think it was bright green with a white top.

here is a quick red/white coupe I whipped up.

If you post a larger picture of your car I can mess around with it.
