#420602 - 21/04/12 09:30 PM Colour change..
CaptainMorley Site Supporter Registered: 11/02/12 Posts: 1343 Loc: Norwich, Norfolk	So some of you may know I took on a carpark pillar whilst reversing a few months ago, I've finally set a date to get the repair done to the body work but they arnt going to be able to save my side stripe.. This being said I think it would nice to go with a different theme.. I want something different but that still looks tastful.. A friend suggested yellow? So red with yellow decals.. Any suggestions on other colour combos? _________________________ <center> [b] K&N induction Milltek Cat-back Aero wipers Custom coloured stripes and overlays Eibach Extras Lows Tripe R Splitter Black Plastics Wind deflectors Tinted front, rear and sidelights Bit of Ebay tat

sxkopite8 Eat My Du Registered: 24/01/12 Posts: 8193 Loc: Chelmsford, Essex	Trying to picture it and I don't think yellow would work mate. You got any other cosmetic changes in mind colour wise? Thinking wheels and Plastics etc. Could colour code the whole lot then _________________________ East of England Rep Midge - MG ZR 105 (10-11) Stella - MR200 Fiesta (11-15) Silky - R171 SLK280 (15 - )

krAwl Registered: 30/08/11 Posts: 2780 Loc: Bourne, Lincs.	Silver would be rare on red I vote you try it! Green could also work on red, possibly hehe. Blue definitely isnt working in my head. I thought orange on red could work but prob not the wheels, just detailing like stripes fogs calipers overlays etc, subtle but fresh. Purple could work depending on the shade. Silver is prob your best bet for tasteful and uncommon. I suggest GOLD, not seen it done on red yet and would look the nuts. Would stand out and tasteful at the same time. _________________________ Tom's Project Thread

White is common but that's because it looks good, not seen many red with black, normally black with red _________________________ My ST Mods

krAwl Registered: 30/08/11 Posts: 2780 Loc: Bourne, Lincs.	I would go with green or purlple. I dont think green will work with side stripes. Not sure about purple side stripes either. I think bold colours like that stand out better on a naked car. Just do purple or green detailing to go, like I have. Fiesta decal, st150 stickers on the rub strips, club stickers, fogs, maybe wing mirrors and roof rails, calipers possibly but different shade to the purple on the wheels, inlays, overlays, engine bay, that sort of thing fella. _________________________ Tom's Project Thread

CaptainMorley Site Supporter Registered: 11/02/12 Posts: 1343 Loc: Norwich, Norfolk	Well I was gonna go with green then it was going to be gold(moment of madness) now I'm think back to grey/silver.. It's wouldn't be so hard if dmb couldn't do like every colour under the sun.. _________________________ <center> [b] K&N induction Milltek Cat-back Aero wipers Custom coloured stripes and overlays Eibach Extras Lows Tripe R Splitter Black Plastics Wind deflectors Tinted front, rear and sidelights Bit of Ebay tat

Josh92 Site Supporter Registered: 05/12/11 Posts: 903 Loc: Oxford, England	i agree gold would look good . dark red or DMB's carbon effect could look smart. if you go for OTT's you could have the st logo cut out of one stripe on the bonnet. or go mad and get chrome

So like thin going to thick? I think I'm pretty set on the idea of gold fading into black if I'm honest a mid height stripe I don't think would look too good.. _________________________ <center> [b] K&N induction Milltek Cat-back Aero wipers Custom coloured stripes and overlays Eibach Extras Lows Tripe R Splitter Black Plastics Wind deflectors Tinted front, rear and sidelights Bit of Ebay tat
