1)I think Navy Blue or Blue should be the background colour; I think most auto sites/forums I frequent have the VB Blue background. seen here

2)) Put a car outline over the words Car Spy Shots; IMO keep it clean and simple don't complicate the logo.
or for the logo have each word inside a polaroid like shot and have them overlaping each other as if messily spread over a desk like the banner here
