glad yor happy with them matey! it was good to chat! did you get to the M62 ok?? im glad your selling that bonnet... lol i have some sminter ideas for you!

1. keep the car black
2 do the grill, headlamp rings, bumpers and wheels the nimbus grey that the designer should have, a mk1 grill might look good, but its up to you!
3. get the designer script and pinstripe done in grey too.
4. blue mudflaps will look good!
5. black and grey interior, retro buckets, keep the centre clocks, clean and simple, perhaps blue harnesses...?
6. paint your engine orange with blue bits

well thats hwta i would do anyway! keeping it 'designer' but with retro twists!

I thinkyou should go full on retro, with twists of designer.

keep the spirit, but still have some flexiblitiy on what you want her like, if you get me.

It would be nice to keep an original in the comunity but would also be nice to see what you can do with a "blank canvass"

this may look revolting
but when i get it to what i want
get the designer pin stripes down the side in a colour that would complement the speedwell ?

right, heres the thing. its a designer. they were black or white with grey bits. i really like it when people use limited editions and keep them looking like that, but with there own twists, like the mini sky on here who changed his roof from white to black and then changed his decals to 'midnight sky' brilliant idea!! and my mate ryan who has a thaiti... he painted it the other tahiti blue, slapped on some big wheels and got his decals done in a different colour.

i wasnt aware that you were going to do it speedwell blue! however, that could work!

1. speedwell blue
2 do the grill, headlamp rings, bumpers, arches and wheels the nimbus grey that the designer should have, a mk1 grill might look good, but its up to you!
3. get the designer script and pinstripe done in grey too.
4. blue mudflaps will look good!
5. black and grey interior, retro buckets, keep the centre clocks, clean and simple, perhaps blue harnesses...?
6. paint your engine orange with blue bits

simple, retro to fcuk and original. you know it makes sense
