I was openly laughed at in chat when I said I was doing purple car with White alloys - I like to think it works. Goes with the Cossie mirrors nicely. I have a white tonneau cover as well to finish it off.

 

The purple colour is fantastic and highlighted by that wonderful stuff "dodo juice" - £2 a ticket to win a care kit, draw taking place 15th April if memory serves. (knew I could get a plug in there somewhere).

***JULIETTE***

 

The car is lower, the engine is lairier and the new front bumper is on the way.

Time for a new direction...

 

1) Bored with the white alloys, I'm considering a dark gold (like the williams clio used to have) - opinions?

 

2) Doing Scumrun 2012 is definately on the cards which means fresh set of sponsors going on. This year we went for similar to the 1994 Lakes rally cosworth layout... Do I go for subtle next time or full on? I'm going to start stripping off the current vinyl when I get it back and treat it to a bloody good dodo-ing...

 

All opinions / thoughts appreciated.

 

Cheers

 

Savage.

I got some stick about my choice of white to start with :smile: I quite like the gold idea but if I was convinced I wouldn't be asking so I need nudging into suggestions. I like black alloys, but to be fair, Im not sure if they'll go with the purple.

 

I still have some spray left from a touch up on Julian (the MK6) so spring violet would be a cheap option. Theres a MK4 RS tintop with the full lakes kit on round my way now and he's got his alloys orangey red and I like those but don't want to copy.

 

And yes, that bumper is ma-hoooooo-sive.
