Id love Renaultsport nimbus grey (my 197) but for a grand you may be better of with a direct gloss colour (non metalic or clear over base) and I'm sure on the classic you can just remove the screen inserts and leave the glass in place.

There is a SNer with a WR 1 blue Scoob.

The Trooper 1815 04 December 2011 01:02 PM

Classic that is.

Connor_scotland had a classic sport in WR1 blue. Pic HERE although not brill. Maybe worth a PM, sure he's got some better pics of it.......

Jimbob 04 December 2011 03:55 PM

Here it is hope Conner doesn`t mind me using his pics.

P1 or WR1 now, the WRC blue just doesn`t feel right.

evil.soup 04 December 2011 07:02 PM

I may me a little biased but i think the classic looks mint in WR1 blue and i have never seen one in the tin either, in fact its a rare site in any model!

It's your car so why ask others what colour to paint it ?

Because I`m undecided, the decision will be mine, but good way of finding out what people will say about it before I get it done. Not for peer pressure in that I do the most popular, but I`ll know what to expect.

Not a sheep that follows the flock, but its good to know which way they will run!!

I do get mixed reactions with mine to be honest, it seems to be a bit of a marmite colour but I chose it just for that reason! I like being different and it turns more heads than the standard blue.;)

Hmm been tempted by Purple now!!

Hmmmm Midnight Purple Pearl from a NSX. Hmmmmmm.

Hope this helps.

Jimbob 14 December 2011 05:51 PM

Thats exactly the same colour as my mates Pulsar and its lovely.
I`d ideally like it a little lighter, bit like the NSX colour below.

Been toying with
https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikiped...997_(side).jpg

But the only downside is the Focus ST Orange, but its a SERIOUS contender and my white wheels would stay!!

Black-Hawk 15 December 2011 07:31 PM

Yeah agree about the st Orange but would defo go anthrasite and carbon

Andy RB5 15 December 2011 10:31 PM

Want something that will be rare in a carpark, so no matter how large a meet I go to I`ll be on my own or in a group of less than 5.
Plus RB5 Grey will imply its something it isn`t.
Or go for the same colour it is now.

One thing I`m deffo doing is this.

I`ll be having the car done and my spare bootlid with small spoiler.

http://i159.photobucket.com/albums/t...404800x450.jpg

So will have a STI 6 spoiler on the other, so one high, and one low.
Had a mid level spoiler and HATED it, so I`ll NEVER have one of those lol.

I will. This is somewhere I can put my ideas up, and then come back and have a think in the cold light of day, and also have an idea as to what others think.
