After a lot of thinking and almost breaking the old girl I've decided to keep her and do a full on makeover on my beloved scoob.
I've brought some ABW arches along with some aero catches for the bonnet and I'm sure as things progress there will be more things lol.

The plan is to remove the engine and pretty much everything else in the engine bay and do a little smoothing[EMB's idea] and also tidy up the loom etc at the same time,then obviously strip everything else off the car and basically fit the arches and paint it all over..............................but what colour
Here she is as she stands





People's views on what might be a good idea and what colours are favoured most would be appreciated............................and watch this space!!

 

Have to say it's looking mint as it is already.

White with carbon and black touches? ( Done a bit before)
WR1 Blue/grey?
RS2 nogaro Blue? with white compomotive's?(really liking this idea)

Few nice detailed touches (protective plate around the exhaust,dark headlights,a clean underneath) all make it stand out??

 

Thanks mate,having such a clean car to start will make for a good starting point,your suggestion is something to keep in mind as well.
Keep um coming folks.

 

toyota deep blue 8bc looks lush on a scoob with white wheels imho

 

I feel blue has been done a little to much and being such a common scoob colour anyway.
Nice car though bud
The fact the car will have the aggressive look from the arch extensions and rota wheels needs to be taken into account while thinking about colour.
I'm abit lost right now but I know one thing I don't want it to be an over the top colour.

 

Where did you bring them from, Ryan?

Carbon roof and cool grey(? RB5 colour) paintwork would look nice.

 

Good point

Now a carbon roof is one thing I hadn't thought of
Never have liked cool grey though I'm afraid

 

Just my opinion, which always goes against the flock, but apart from on genuine time attack and race cars, these arch extensions are getting a little "chavvy"

It's your car so along as you like it that's the important thing, just think the fad will fade.

Full restorations on classics are the way forward......to a concours standard..

 

Paint it Orange!

 

So you honestly think this looks 'chav'?

 

Matt's old car? You've just said you don't like that colour.

I'm not a fan of those extensions, each to there own though.

Chavvy as **** it is with all the orange bits on it.

 

Those arches look awesome, there's a few knocking about with them on.

 

How about a matt silver? Would be different to other scoobs around and make a change to matt black.

 

 

I have had a matt colour on my mind Martin actually,but more of a deep grey rather than silver?

 

Now that is exactly what I'm heading towards my man

 

Thought you'd like it, but you should paint it orange

 

Im in love again ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

 

That car is for sale at present.

At top.
If you break this motor, you need your hole kicked!
Keep it!

 

Why would I buy one for that much when I can make my own look like it for basically nothing

 

I have some suggestions for colours Sorry about my shoddy photoshopping, kinda rushed it)




Orange (Obviously)




Pink (lols)




Mint (Actually sensible)

 

LOUD is a good word for them colours lol,keep them coming though,good work with photoshop mate and it will help me decide
Could you do a matt dark grey and a deep flip tone blue please??

 

I'll have a go

What's a deep flip tone blue

 

Matt dark grey would be nice. I did think that but thought it might be too similar to ack so went for silver.

Also like the burnt orange in the photoshop pic.

 

Unless it's a genuine race or sprint car YES!!

 

What's the difference though?
Sprint or road car it looks good surely?

 

This is a colour I have in mind maybe?

 

It's only my opinion, if you like it that's fine, the only cars I've seen that suit it IMO are fully livered up race and sprint cars, doesn't quite look right on road cars..

 

Oh wow, I'd have to colour that in from scratch lol

Since I can't do that, here are some more loud alternatives;

Red (Salmon even :/)




M3 Yellow




Deep Blue
