Ahhh now that's a much better colour

[Icecavern]

What about a two tone...

This would stand out

 

[Pabs]

ur mad.
lol

 

[Martyn]

Pop outside and get some fresh air Pete, I think you need it lol

 

[Georgie]

no chance at hot pink then!

 

[ZBOYD]

I like that two tone look!! Now that ive gouged my eyes out with a spoon.

 

[Icecavern]

Well it looks ok when done in real life...

Check bottom picture

It's not my fault I'm crap at photoshop

 

[Icecavern]

Or maybe just black with flames

 

[tbc]

I think that would look ace with silver instead of brown!

 

[andyj]

Pete, you've defo been stuck inside decorating with all those paint fumes for too long

Platinum looks very subtle I reckon

 

[andyb]

subtle is the way in my book. Personally I'd just stick with the Plat Grey and keep it all nice and clean

But, If you want a hand with some designs, then give me a shout

Subtle rod inspired designs

+ countless more in your face jobs

Matt Black - not my taste, but hey, your half way there

You could do something tone-on-tone, which looks good in the right colour...

matt black just rocks

 

[cordobabrendy]

matt black here too.

 

[Pabs]

and here. i always wanted a matt black car

 

[cordobabrendy]

matt black or lucozade still gets my vote also...

ps daz theres a couple of views of that motor on that website

 

[andyb]

If you do go the Matt Black route, its a nightmare to get it even aparently. If you do go that route, I know the guys down at Arena (Littlehampton) who ran Tom Chilton's (defected to VX btw) Matt Black Honda in the BTCC who might be able to point you in the right direction.

Pete

You want to paint it in that Chrome Paint

MAtt black is no good, mainly because as soon as the car gets washed it looks crap.

Like the tone-on-tone car though.

[Feel]

There were some pictures of a two tone S3 in similar shde to that PS somewhere Pete. I must admit that I didn't like the sound of it, but I liked the way it looked.

I like the black/silver two tones Andy posted...

I still like the gunmetal idea Although it'll make picking a wheel colour difficult.

Matt black will make it look "cheap" IMHO as it's not the newest car on the planet.

What about Platinum with a black roof? If you bring the Platinum higher up (like in those that Andy posted) and had a black top half, It'd visually lower the roof and help loose the windows...

Edit: Or just paint the fecker red...

 

[Icecavern]

Or the silver colour in my sig pic with a black roof

 

[slimjim]

Just the roof? Or the A and C pillars as well to match the B pillars?
