    what about a burnt red.
    something abit different
    or maybe like a metal flake red?


    depends what look and styling you want to go with i guess

    i just think youll regret it

    i wanted to go all out on my first car but so glad i didnt

    unless your going to copy what willsy has done then go with the engine etc youll get bored

    ask him now, he will tell how bored he is with his car at the mo

    he was even telling me he was putting it up for sale for a vr6 (i think it was)

    a full respray isnt a cheap mod, you need to think about how long youll keep the car for and with the 1.4 engine i can see you getting bored

    thats all, not trying to be a cunt, just dont want to see you regret waiting as your a nice kid

    my personal favourites would either be white, or a shade of grey, maybe a gunmetal grey.

    For one it's a westcoast, unless your planning to keep it for years to come, and are going to be happy...

    ALOT of people want to upgrade to VTR\VTS after a year or whatever... Depends if you want a VTR or VTS when you have some no claims... And how long you gonna keep the car.

    As the paintjob won't build up the sale alot really and doesn't increase the cars value.

    Candy apple red is smart!

    But why not customise if you want a pant job that bad!
