Oral for the best reply :)

[Cal]

You had me at oral lol, do you have a higher res original pic of your car?

This is a complete TWAT of a job mind, your choice of paintwork has made it very difficult, you lose the highlights on the white section due to the colour, will make it v.diff to change to black convincingly...

[Cal]

White....

Black...

I think the yellow looks a bit gash so I might have another go at it...

[xsmile_be_happyx]

i like the yellow one, it looks smart :)

[jclaydon]

White looks mint. Assuming you keep them wheels.

[djrem]

Well its gonna be White or Yellow.

I havent got a Higher res pic sorry :(

the car currently is sitting in bits. lots of bits.
Its nearly all primed and i need colour ideas.

I love the white but not sure if its a bit too comman.

The yellow though. I dripped a bit at the mouth. Very sensual.

Mr Cal. you sir get oral. Let me go wake my nan for you.

[Cal]

Mr Cal. you sir get oral. Let me go wake my nan for you.DJ-Nan... Awesome, let me go polish my firemans helmet!


Some rep would do the trick! :y:

[djrem]

i cant rep you any more :(

bastard spreading rules.

I'll have a look for any higher res pics but i dont think they're of the front.

[Cal]

i cant rep you any more :(

bastard spreading rules.

I'll have a look for any higher res pics but i dont think they're of the front.It is a complete cunt that is! Ive done work for people a few times and had that happen. Twat-tastic. Dont worry about the high res pics... you get the idea with the little ones, if you get another colour in mind just give me a shout. Ive also just learnt a flip paint technique which might be worth a shot if you dig that sorta thing...

[djrem]

flip paints a bit chavish imo.

I want to the car to be a good standard colour.

My mates are saying go silver because of the interior being black leather with silver detailing.

Could we give that a go in this sort of colour:

You the man dog :)

[Craddock]

Id go for yellow, silver is a bit common and yellow is very unique... lol

:P

[Amiee]

white does look good!

[Robb]

loving the car remmy...

the chops are looking proper smart aswell cal

[Delboy75]

Lovin the yellow mate, but i'm biased ;)

[djrem]

i wanna see what it looks like in silver aswell.

i am liking the yellow.

black = dent magnet.
white = i think will make the car look plasticy

I wanna try silver as my interior will go well with it how ever im pretty sure its metallic the standard colour and repair work will be hard aswell as the paint being more expensive.

:S

[Robb]

black or yellow imo.


silver will look tooo standard

[djrem]

yeah i still would like to see it in silver so i can tick it off in my mind.

looks like i need a big bucket of gti yellow ;)

anyone know its real name/colour code number thing

[Robb]

sundance yellow

no idea of the code, think there was a thread not so long ago though

[djrem]

time to search ;)

[Saxo-Slag]

I would go for something mad. Some really nice red or something

[Japman]

the white looks good

[djrem]

white always i think looks plasticy imo though

[VTSKris]

Heres my go at silver.

http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e44/VTRKris/djremwhite.jpg

I have always loved the cherry red that you see only a few GTis in. Would look mint with the white wheels ;)

[VTR_Zoe]

Have you thought about getting like a pearl white/silver with a slight tint of another colour in it.
i think its call pearlesant!!

Zoe

[djrem]

yeah but although i know the paints very important to the look of the car.

i wanted to keep it a standardish colour to make the body kit blend in a bit more

[Delboy75]

106 gti yellow is definately called sundance as my mate had one.
looks gorgeous

[Cal]

Cheers for the comments etc, il give silver a bash for you Remmy... apologies for the late reply

[djrem]

pffft. dont apolagise.

you sir are the magic man. with the photoshopping n all. :)

[Cal]

I see its already been done but oh well, fuck it!

http://i73.photobucket.com/albums/i234/cal2319/djremsilver.jpg

[djrem]

cheers man.

hmmm. now to make a decision :S

[Cal]

Ive always liked the wild sundance yellow colour but your bumper is pretty in yer face so maybe a more subtle colour? I still think yellow so far tho...! And black mesh on the front...

[Cal]

FTW! :y:

http://i73.photobucket.com/albums/i234/cal2319/djremwikkid.jpg

[djrem]

erm.
looks a bit like an acid trip lol

could you photoshop it as if it was your car cal?
what would you do to it? :)

[Cal]

erm.

could you photoshop it as if it was your car cal?
what would you do to it? :)You'll prob hate this suggestion! But if it was me I'd pick up some GTi bumpers, colour code, rallye fog inserts, morettes/twin angels, paint current wheels black, all finished off in Sundance Yellow... Thats just me though dude, everyones taste is different!

What are your preferences after everyone's inputs/opinions now?

[saxovtrCJ]

black one looks the best

[djrem]

im all for yellow or silver.

Im keeping the kit solely because its rare and taking it off will show a load of crap from where the previous owners made it fit to the car.

Eitherway its getting:
16v GTi Conversion (1.6 - maybe turboed depending on locating an engine and time)
Lowering on coilovers and torsion adjusted.
Full refit of the interior, sound system (comps, 2 amps, 10inch SQ sub), Sunvisor Screens, Boot Screens mounted in rear seat headrests.
Smoothed roof seals
Bonnet resmooted, extended/subtle louvres fitted.
Windows tinted.

if i go yellow, id get black angel eyes, paint the wheels black,
silver: morrettes colour coded in. Wheels sold and multi spokes fitted sprayed grey.

[Delboy75]

"if i go yellow, id get black angel eyes, paint the wheels black"

^^^^^that would lush!!

[djrem]

hmm i know but if i go silver my interior will look more suited to the vehicle.

:S

[Cal]

hmm i know but if i go silver my interior will look more suited to the vehicle.

:SId say silver because of the interior but try to incorporate black and maybe white into the paintjob, the bumper looks less in yer face when its black... Im normally against graphics etc but a custom flat multicolour paint job could look good...?

[djrem]

nah your right. Silver

all one colour.

:)

cheers man

[Cal]

Glad you've chosen silver; it was the twattiest to photoshop!

[Robb]

lol from the start of this thread you wanted to go silver, just so it matched the interior. wouldnt it be cheaper to change the interior than a full paint job, but its not like the current interior doesnt go with black anyway. still think you should go black

oh and becca is the bomb your right.

[djrem]

yh.

my dad saying black and will front some money towards it.
my mums saying silver and she's said she'd help me pay for it too.

They're divorced. so this could be a battle between them now. lol

yeah shes the bomb

[Robb]

haha...yeh its clearly a battle of who you love the most now. id still go for black personally.


you thought of a gunmetal grey before? sort of inbetween the both and rare as fook..

[djrem]

haha...yeh its clearly a battle of who you love the most now. id still go for black personally.

oh yeah.

Gunmetal.

Im pretty sure its a standard colour on the minis aswell. hmmm.

you sir have sprouted a seed in my head.

Parents. prepare to meet halfway and pay for the whole job ;)

[Cal]

Sell half the car to each. Could be a good BBC fly on the wall doc... finish up with a Jerry Springer style TV brawl.

[djrem]

nah. they dont want it.

my dads got an 3.2 M3 Evo

My mums rolling around in a SL55 AMG

I dont think they want a 1.1 pug with no paint and zero interior lol

[Robb]

gunmetal would look fly as fuck. you know you want to.

[djrem]

so.

could someone do a final photoshop using this colour:

Cheers :)

[Cal]

Anything for yoooo
http://i73.photobucket.com/albums/i234/cal2319/djremgunmetal.jpg

[djrem]

yh i like that.

[Robb]

i was thinking slightly darker, but that does look good.

[Cal]

i was thinking slightly darker, but that does look good.Can do if need be...

[djrem]

yh try it darker. i think robb has a point there.

any chance of lowering to so the wheels sit properly?

God i need a bucket of rep to throw at you

[Cal]

http://i73.photobucket.com/albums/i234/cal2319/djremdarkgunmetal.jpg

Will do the lowering in a bit...

Rem: you can invite other people to give me rep for you...! :y: :y: :y: haha!

[Robb]

looks good.

my work here is done.
