Parking ... Things

As mentioned in the LfGRFs topic, I was kinda on search for parking spots that fit with the Japanese theme. I wasn't entirely satisfied with what already exists, so I made some:
Anyway, haven't finished coding them yet, mainly because I'm not sure what to do with them. A "Japanese Parking Lots" GRF seems kinda ridiculous even to me. Sure, they also fit with some of the other road sets, and there's really no rule that parking spots have to have the same surface color as roads (well, usually they actually don't) but in a game I like things orderly
Anyone coincidentally working on a Japanese (Road) Objects GRF? Or some other suggestions? Make a parking lot GRF for all popular road sets? ^^;
Otherwise I think they turned out quite OK. For those not familiar with Japanese parking culture : those in the bottom screenshot are paid ones. They come with some sort of mechanism you drive over that only allows leaving when paid (or maybe it's there to prevent stealing the car, not like I'm an expert either ^^). dunno how common they are outside the large cities, but there are a lot of those in Tokyo.
(cars from ISR so GPL v2 as always. Can I just say how frustrated it was trying to draw them "in reverse"? I ultimately gave up. Jeez, I really suck at this pixel drawing thing)Anyway, haven't finished coding them yet, mainly because I'm not sure what to do with them.
