what colour for my mk2?

[Rickyb]

hi all at some point in the next week il be getting my nova down the unit to start the strip down,metal up and re-paint. i was just going to paint it lame red again but im fed up with reds, so after much looking at novas me and my mate have norrowed the colours down to
vaux white with anthricite(sp) bumpers, handels etc (standard bumpers tho)
ardon blue with gsi bumpers colour coded but no skirts (i mega dislike sideskirts)
there the only 2 solutions we can come up with.
so please leave your commentsand if you think theres a nice colour you think we havnt thought about then please post a pic of a mk2 in that colour.
this is the car in question

whites quite common chief, arden blue is a nice colour on any car imo so go with that

[LDAWSON]

Would look very nice in a new coat of flame red...IMO. What about Rio Verde???:thumb:

[scott.parker]

I think it's call Brocade Yellow, i love it, seen it once on a nova back in 2001! so not common, i would re spray mine in it if i ever respray it...

I'll try get a pic of the nova, imagine it with graphite metallic bumpers!

Paint code.
488/53L - LIGHT CURRY (BROCADE) YELLOW MET

Wasn't Paul's old track car painted that kinda yellow colour?

I'd say white (of the blue or white option). Arden blue is common as muck with all the financed-VXRs around lol

Other than that - maybe a different shade of red? Carmine? Mexico?

[scott.parker]

No Paul's was the Renault Megan mica yellow, there not alike at all in real life etc..

[Rickyb]

woow i didnt think ide have any replys yet, i quite like the idea of the goldie yellow colour i think we needs a good photoshop.
i dont really want to go with red as round this area theres 2red novas (both mine) 2 other red ones both carmine iirc tourque's nova which is red and a china blue one so that tells me theres more reds than anythin else lol.
i know white and ardon blue are common now but thay just look awsome.
oh and im also going to try and get a set of banded sr steelies :D

[scott.parker]

I'll scan and put on the pic i have from 2001 later mate.

[Rickyb]

cheers i cant wait for that cos itl be really unusual.
i remember when paul first put the pics up of his renault yellow colour i really liked that

Gives a better idea of how it looks on a Nova, but if you google the color on corsa's and astra's you will see how it looks mate.

Both colors with my bumpers as they are would look ace.
