which colour?

Either you'll be spending more on the paint than the car is worth, or it'll look s**te.

waddya mean "either"?

'You'll be spending more on paint than the car is worth and it'll look s**te'.

Better?

Aye, ta.

Although I'm considering going on a mad one with the Safrane, just to see if it's the colour that makes the thing invisible.

Was thinking of a set of 18" blingrims, tints, dropping it 40mm and painting it a silly colour, then dropping a T5 lump in, presuming a T5 lump should be an easy enough swap, that is.

There's a Safrane BiTurbo knocking about near my work which is a phase 1, black with tints and 17"s on which looks ok, but it's still invisible to the naked eye. "B11 TUB" I think the plate is.

Heh.

T5 yellow or Fiat 'Broom Yellow' are the way forward.....

Big cars in Broom Yellow tend to look a bit odd. Which I suppose is the desired effect.

I have the sick idea of doing the 20vT conversion on the Marea. But leaving everything else untouched to the eye.

Nato green with black steel rims on spacers, lowered for excessive camber at the rear.

bright pink with daisies scattered all over it..

I suspect I'll be spending more than the car cost me to paint the Golf. Not more than it's worth to me mind :).

LOL, I'm doing that on the Capri next month. 24th April and in the paintshop she goes fror a fortnight of rot removal and a repaint. £1000-ish at mates rates.

Broom Yellow, like mine :D

well considering i'm doing it myself it shouldnt cost more than the car :) i know fiats depreciate like hell but its worth more than 60 quid :)

Ouch. Any idea how much of that is going on paint?
