Help with colour suggestions please....

[SaxoAL]

With the car going into the bodyshop at the beginning of May Ive been doing some thinking...

With the work that I am booked in to have done, effectively I would be getting a bottom half respray. Ie: panels, arches, bumpers..
BUT Ive been thinking. Why not go for a different colour instead of staying silver..

Can anyone suggest some ideas as to what colours to think about doing the bottom half in. Sensible and nicley matched colours that go with the silver aswell please..

[SaxoAL]

Not pink ! lol

[SaxoAL]

yes. was thinking candy red.. or maybe trophy blue/focus RS blue..

Mauritius blue..

[oz_borne]

HE HE listen to you.

you know that pic we saw the other day of the shitty fade that guy did. Can't you do sumthing like that, don't think any body has done a fade below the bump strips from say a dark blue to silver.

would you not think of perhaps bringing the colour up onto the body aswell?

i think a green i don't know about block colour though, something different might have to occur. RED AND SILVER HAS BEEN DONE.

Topazsmileys/smiley2.gif or dark gold smileys/smiley2.gif

[Dan]

[Sidesport]

GREY!!!

[jaybiss]

smileys/smiley4.gif

[SaxoAL]

[SaxoAL]

old skool pic that one ! lol
would you be able to do me a burgundy one ?! n navy lol

[Dan]

blue one looks the nicest imo! green look kinda cool too! smileys/smiley2.gif

[Saxonator]

Blue and the green i really like !

[oz_borne]

i actually really like the green one!!!

it is light
and that looks good.

i think if you go dark, it will make your car look very low, WHICH IS GOOD,

but like i said on msn a candy colour is the way forward. i trully believe we'll see LOADS of candy colour cars coming back to tthe forefront.

[jaybiss]

i really like the green and blue that mark did

smileys/smiley4.gif

[Dan]

nice one jay! al i think that would suit you down to the ground! lol

[Andyt]

To be honost Alex, I think you will be hard pressed 2 get a 2 tone/colour effect that doesn't look shit or tacky on a silver car...apart from the obvious dark grey. I'm not sure how black would look right enough

[SaxoAL]

Im starting to agree with you there Andy...
I dont want it to look cack you see.
Black looks ok I think. And the grey hmmmm

[Andyt]

I'm not so sure Alex, i say go for the old body coloured rub strips. That's what i'm doing bfore FCS...shhhh! smileys/smiley4.gif

[SaxoAL]

Im going to sleep on it ... smileys/smiley17.gif
Nighty night! smileys/smiley4.gif

[SaxoAL]

Someone done a black on bottom half one for me ...

/members/SaxoAL/6F4_50_ACF2D7A.jpg

I quite like.. what you reckon ?
And I think its in keeping with the silver/black window theme aswell?

[Andyt]

I think that looks more like the dark grey that citroen made a few of. I quite like the look of these though.

[SaxoAL]

Ive got a new VT kit panel in my room ready to go on.. But its in Citroen Gloss black and it looks so sweet!
I think its hard to photoshop it, hence why it looks a bit greyish.
But black hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm smileys/smiley17.gif

[frilla]

i think that the black looks really good mate!

[al_VTR]

i reckon you should stick with the black mate - looks good & you won't be disappointed with it. although some of the other colours looked ok as a photoshop i'm not sute they'd look so good in real life.

let us know what you decide dude smileys/smiley2.gif

[Andyt]

What i meant to say was - If you think it'll look smart just go for it, after all it is your car. smileys/smiley4.gif
