Well my nova is white and i planned on when the bodywork is finished, respraying it white, but im building the car so its like a car that was built in the 90s, me and a friend had a discussion and now im thinking about spraying it dark metalic purple, heres some pictures of how i would look either way.
Its got slabs on either way aswell.

I have a soft spot for white GTE's, so im voting for white!
However, the purple, if done well, (No glitter etc) Will look tidy too!

Anything but Purple. All badly modded cars are purple, Combat kitted Corsas on the cover of Total Vauxhall in particular.

i still cant make my mind up lol, another thing i have to think about, is painting the inside of the car, under the bonnet, inside doors, take engine out and spray engine bay, hard work.

i really cant make my mind up ffs, in a couple years i want to get a white gsi, i might paint this white for now and when i get the gsi spray this purple, but IDK FFS, driving me crazy lol

I was originally building a mk1 version of this, but with slabs.

If you can't be bothered to spray the engine bay etc purple too then stick with white.

As soon as you said purple i knew you were going to use that was as an example, an awesome car. however white would look equally as nice. I think instead of spending time on a colour, you should find some new wheels :)

As a fan of purple, I say keep it white :)
CG, he was wanting to do a mk1 Corsa GSi IIRC
lol @ L33 giving stick about wheels :O
Would look awesome in white.
I reckon white with white slabs and dropped on its ass will look awesome, even though i adore mark watts old turbo gte, id love to know where that is now as ive heard some horror stories about its current state:cry:
Purple decked on polished ronal turbos :cool:

wasnt trying to slate the guy lol it' just he used two very mint exemples, and for him to pull it off well slabs arnt really the wheel to do it with. was just being constructive :eek:

It is on its ass, gaz coilovers set to almost lowest, i can just say steer it because the wheels nearly hit the wings, and the exhaust occasionaly scrapes the floor. the wheels are tucked right under the arches.
its very low but you just cant see from the dark picture.
And yeh Liam your right its a "Corsa A GSi" that im replicating ;)
basically a nova gte but with gsi stickers instead lol
