How about Sunshine bronze?

It's a Talbot Samba colour. So there's not many cars around with the same colour, its got a little pearl in it, that makes it flip red, bronze and gold.

I had a Sapphire cosworth in it before some so and so nicked and wrote it off.

Pear white is the crappiest colour to do. After a very short while the colour turns creamy.

If I was to respray my car and make it look different yet not OTT, id go with Cool grey/gunmetal grey. I dont think they made the blob eye in gun metal

im not too worried about not looking ott as i still have (or the wifes really) white sti blob which is and always will be standard. i have had a lot of people saying too go focus orange and there will be a run of new tt's in a new audi orange. so might as well go with the trend, as for cost of the respray im one of the lucky ones im afraid, my brother is a panel beater and best mates a sprayer, and ive just built a new triple garage with a compressor, and the HUUUUGE extractor fan. so really it will just be the cost of paint, of which i'll have to use slightly more than a normal garage because of lack of spray booth. so after painting it can have many coats to be flatted and polished. (youd be surprised at the nick a lot of cars come out of a spray booth with loads of cack on the new paint) just wanted too see if anyone fancied the old kawasaki style in your face green

Focus Orange has been done. Some might say over done.

Sorry for thread hijack, but does anybody know where these bonnets can be sourced in the UK?

Oh, and Lime green would be good btw as it's soooooo different.
