Colour Code Or Not To Colour Code?

[NovaLad]

Got some cash spare and wondering what to do with it.

Been thinking about colour coding my bumpers and getting the dint sorted out in the boot for quite a few days now but still not 100% on what to do.

If i get the bumpers colour coded and the boot sorted it will cost me 200 quid.

Or just get the boot sorted which will be about 60 - 80 quid.

If i get the bumeprs done i will be sticking my GSi decals on the doors and boot as i have allways loved the look of a GSi.

So i want your opinions on what to do.

Add comments and do the poll.

Thanks.

Also could someone do me a photoshop of colour coded bumpers on it.

Cheers

I'd get the dent in the boot sorted before any colour coding.

And if you're insisting on sticking GSi stickers on if you colour code the bumpers then definitely don't colour code. lol

imo.. looks top with grey bumpers and skirts :thumb:, keep it cool.. like moi :thumb:

[Adam]

No dont colour code it.
It wont look right with it being that colour.

That looks spot on to me:thumb: I say keep it, as is. Fix the dent and you're sorted.

[Dave.]

and also.. get some autoglym bumper care on the bumpers and skirts like mine, brings them up liek new :thumb:

[vaughanmc]

I'd say keep it the way it is lad - Don't put any GSi badges near it either lol

[NovaLad]

I used to think about the fact it aint a GSi colour but what would it matter loads of people have a custon spray job and put GSi decals on it.

I think it would look good but just not 100%

I do like grey bumpers just fancied a changed.

I wanted to bring my car back out on the road not tell my mates that i had changed a few things then come out with it colour coded up lol.

I will be definitly getting my boot sorted though.

[Jack]

Stick with grey - IF you did colour code them, you'd need a GSi front bumper (for some reason the poverty spec one just doesn't look right coloured) and do the skirts too.

[NovaLad]

I have a GSi bumper in grey but it has a crack and no scratches.

[dannyb]

Its a tidy motor so just leave alone, get the boot sorted if its really annoying you, just don't be in a hurry to start blowing your insurance payout money. The 120/140 you'll have left from not colour coding WILL come in useful when you are out and about in the summer/at car shows/taking birds out. You can't nail a colour coded bumper...

[bola]

A new boot wouldnt be 60 - 80 quid! May be worth getting a better condition second hand one than repairing that one mate.

[NovaLad]

I'm paying for the dint to be pulled back out at the back and pulled back in at the side then re sprayed.

Another boot would be like 30 quid and it's virtually impossible getting 1 in same colour as mine.

So TBH i'm getting a good deal.

[Riggy]

the one in the scrapers is the same colour , just fit that one and be done with it , :thumb:

fit a grey gsi front though would look so much better

[Leeboo]

I'd say fix the dent, don't colour code, but buy a GSi spoiler and have that sprayed and fitted:thumb:

[NovaLad]

Riggy come collect my GSi front and fibre glass the crack in it lol!!!

[Riggy]

where is the crack ?

would you see it if fitted to car ?

[NovaLad]

Hmm...here this is to show you where it is... That aint my bumper though mines original grey.

[burgo]

would it not be easier to just get another boot?? theres one on ebay at the mo i beleave

[NovaLad]

Same colour as mine is it?

If not it's still like 60 quid to have it sprayed up.

[burgo]

yes it looked the same

[NovaLad]

It's not the same colour.

Their is 3 diff shades of my colour as far as i am aware and that's not the 1 i have.

They are very close though.

Also it doesn't have a wiper so would have to do a wiper conversion.

[burgo]

look better without a wiper imo

[walshc]

Maybe half code them????

Looks better than full CC`d IMO
But at the end of the day dude, do what YOU want to do :thumb:

[NovaLad]

/\ If you don't mind could you do a full chop of them all in the colour i think the match you got looks closer than what dave did..

Thanks in advance :D

[walshc]

[burgo]

imo half colour code would look very cool without the side sirts.... but with its gay!!

[Jcb]

hadn't thought about that. but i agree. half colour coding looks good.

[Jack]

Half colour FTW, doesn't look too bad with the skirts IMO

[Riggy]
