I'd go along with that. I don't hate the default skin that much, but the ability to mirror the currently applied livery would be nice. Hell, you could even charge for it. £5 for the bobblehead, £2 or £3 for the "skin mirroring" option. I'd probably cough up again. Anything that keeps development funds flowing in.
(Just don't be tempted to do a separate bobblehead for each skin then try to charge a fiver for each of them. We die-hard dedicated players are an understanding and reasonably generous bunch, but we're also well aware of when we're being gouged. And the forums are salty enough at the moment.)
