hi everyone :)

its nearing the time where im thinking about the respray, up until a couple of days ago i was quite set on tahiti blue with silver roof and silver cooper s reverse rims with no arches, after being to a show over the weekend ive been a bit put off with the amount of minis with that colour scheme.

i have already had my wheels powdercoated in silver and im looking at different colour options now and mabye thinking brooklands green with silver roof and wheels, this shade link but im not too sure yet :unsure:

what do you's think? and any other colour ideas to go with the silver thats a bit different would be greatly appreciated :)

thanks, Adam

when i was searching for a colour i found that most of the brooklands or lotus greens were either too light of too dark. i ended up going for a colour called martini racing green :D looks a m a z i n g .

If i had maroon, i'd have it on a mk1 or a pickup, they look really nice in maroon :P what also looks really good is if you find a colour that normally goes with white roof and stripes such as british racing green or Tahiti blue and then have it without the white stripes and roof and then with wide arches, which you already have :P

yeah... tahiti blue is probably one of the most common, apart from flame red and racing green of course. it was used a lot with the later ones. if you want an original that's not very common, i'd go for a colour from the early coopers or something, maybe red and black, they looked quite nice :) or maybe a nice baby blue with a white roof?
