Depends if i end up putting a cage in or not. The pictures are of one from google, if you flick through my project pag you'll see i really shouldnt even be thinking of colors

I'm normally quite conservative with colour preferences, but even in that photoshop, black and orange looks sweet!

[CobraV8]

First one but with the colours inverted so its orange body with black parts.


I've chosen black & orange on the poll..

I agree.... but I might be biased.....

I need to get off my ass and finish it! I need to finish sealing the windscreen, the ex-fresh air vent so I can put my carpets back in, and get on with the engine.

I also have a heater to go in now, so need to source some vents and pipes and get it all in.

I have kind of decided to go 1275 (or bigger) now, and make a full race motor, as I want to get out and compete against my brother.

a white and black detail mini with a red-top up front ?

deja-vu



the more white minis with black roof that I see, I love them - perfect combination I think, but then Cobra V8's orange mini looks perfect as well.

[Calman]

De-ja-vu indeed Martin

Don't know if you remember me p'm ing you for permission to use that picture in a Photoshop Request thread, never had a reply for it

But never mind, probably change my mind again sometime soon

I think it boils down to the balance of black against the body colour - certain colours just seem to work with black - orange like cobra V8's, red like the stunning minus that was in the threads about a year ago, and lime green - stick to roof, arches and minor details like wing mirrors, wipers in black and it looks great - but the arches need to be quite big to pull it off properly.



I remeber your request, no-one did a picture for you?? I'll see if I can find some time in between stickers, painting n stuff this week. I've got to do a re-hack of this picture as its having clubman front end now
