colour change

Ritchy · 13-01-11, 11:28 PM

been thinking about it last few days, as you know bumped the car and basically rear quater is going to need painted, but then the bootlids rippled needs resprayed, couple of minor dents on the other quarter before i got the car, odd dents on the door and the whole body kit needs resprayed...

so been thinking ,maybe just get a full respray and that will do it another 80,000 miles, but ws also thinking colour change....
been thinking a few colours, one that sprung to mind was a solid mint green, or powder blue, think it would look lovely but wasnt sure how it would sit with my interior
and another was a metalic chocolate brown? would look very subtle
only thing is as im so picky im going to have to strip the car bare if im going to do it so everything is the right colour
thoughts and opinions?

tbh I'm no sure bud, yep a colour change wid be nice but canna help think your money could go somewhere better on the car, just a freshen up of the standard colour wid do imo

i think you might be right gary, id have engine n full interior out so under the carpet matched the shell lol,
need to save some pennys though might get a full respray in starlight silver again to freshen her up, then new gearbox in, timing belt exhaust ect ect be like a new car i hope, gutted with it still sitting down the garden all lopsided and with a flat battery

Metallic brown would be cool

If it were me, I'd either spray it white (maybe with blue pearlescent) or that proper MG colour...Dark Fantasy...was deep red/black colour...Is an option I have in mind for next year when I get my mk2

That Dark Fantasy is amazing but probably really expensive paint.
White gets my vote, Really suits The touring car Ross has and I think would look just as good on the MK2.

I'd say White or dark fantasy but that would cost mega money!! I'd go of an Audi White. Would look really tidy!!

Tough choice mate. If money is an issue then just go for a freshen up in Silver.

If I were you - I'd go White ..... Then again powder blue would be good .... or even orange - Aaaargh ....

If you intend to keep it and are happy with the performance then why not, but if you might upgrade later on then I would spend wisely
