VR6Toby 0 Posted February 17, 2005 Report Share Posted February 17, 2005 If you could have your car in any colour, what would it be?Basically I'm going to get my car sprayed in the next few weeks and need ideas for colours. Was going to go with Porsche Seal Grey, but not sure on it now. Any suggestions for a mk3 would be great. Link to post Share on other sites

vdubgirl 3 Posted February 17, 2005 Report Share Posted February 17, 2005 I like some of the metalic blues which are about nowadays Link to post Share on other sites
acf8181 0 Posted February 17, 2005 Report Share Posted February 17, 2005 you have to be very very careful if going for a non-standard colour, as it can so easily look tacky IMO. Link to post Share on other sites

VRVIRGIN 0 Posted February 19, 2005 Report Share Posted February 19, 2005 Loving mine in Silver at present, what bodywork mods you got Toby? I mean, are you going for a completely smoothed look? If so, a lighter colour will always do those details justice IMHO and that Porsche Seal grey is lovely, seen it on a Corrado in PVW couple issues back. Interior colour and even your wheels can influence your choice. Link to post Share on other sites
VR6Toby 0 Posted February 21, 2005 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2005 Basically it will be very smooth, a3 handles, no rub strips, smoothed tailgate (but keeping number plte were it is), smoothed bumpers (losing front indicators/fogs), debadged grille, TT comp wheels maybe. Car is totally stripped out at the moment ready for welding next weekend.Also considering M3 CSL grey now. Saw that Corrado, thats the car that made me think of seal grey.

VRVIRGIN 0 Posted February 22, 2005 Report Share Posted February 22, 2005 I think the Porsche colour is a better bet m8, seen the CSL (in grey) up close and i think it's just dull for a beast such as that, or a beast such as yours. Just an opinion m8. [ Edited Tue Feb 22 2005, 10:53PM ] Link to post Share on other sites
badboyV6 4 Posted February 23, 2005 Report Share Posted February 23, 2005 i quite like atlas grey... and tornado red :-) Link to post Share on other sites
antera309 3 Posted February 23, 2005 Report Share Posted February 23, 2005 If I was going for a colour change on a Mk3, I'd probably go for VW "Deep Blue", as used on the Mk4 R32:R32 Deep BlueThis would be a VERY expensive spray job though. It's a pearlescent.[ Edited Wed Feb 23 2005, 12:24AM ] Link to post Share on other sites
acf8181 0 Posted February 23, 2005 Report Share Posted February 23, 2005 i can't work out if everyone saying tornado red is taking the michael or not?! (i know binliner was tho )someone on cgti has sprayed there gti bmw e36 M£ blue and it really works. would look really good with obd1 style bodywork IMO (i.e. grey arches/trim/top of bumpers)...but as a rule i'd say don't go away from near o.e. colours.
