It's got to be a colour I really love. I couldn't give a stuff about shifting it on afterwards to be honest. If I'm spending a couple of grand on a £3k car, it's for me, not the next owner.

I very nearly bought an Exige in that green colour a few years back but I honestly don't think I could live with anything that shouty loud.

 

Before I started selling up, this was exactly my thought, I got a full quote of £3600 from a local panel works, so do a complete respray including removal of all scratches dents and rust..
If I was to do it, I would go quite a bit different, I love the Lamborghini greys:


And I always loved the blue on my old CBR!

 

It makes no financial sense I agree but that's not why I'm doing it.

So I sell mine, put the £3k towards it and what do I have? A £6k budget to buy an old Berlina black (Or MCB) that needs loads of work to bring it back to the spec mine is now at.

 

Fair enough, you know it makes sense to get a Berlina though

 

Then I'd end up with my second choice of colour...

 

Lovign those Lambo greys!


looking at this thread may change my colour choice for my soon to come respray.

 

This colour combo

 

Midnight purple. It's very subtle.

Either that or the Nissan version from the R34 - that's bonkers.

There was a lovely black with a purple flip Honda did for just one MY; burgundy black and the S looks fantastic in that.

refinishing in grey's a CWOT; looks just like every f ucking Audi out there.

 

I had forgotten about that. Roadkill had one but it was a very difficult colour to photograph. There was also the Midnight Blue that was a JDM colour and I found This one in a Nissan purple.

 

I'm not keen on the grey primer look of the Lambo's. Reminds me of the back half of a Chevette* I once had...
