Big Mark Posted October 4, 2016 Author Share Posted October 4, 2016 Yep. If I can find a bodyshop I can trust and totally decide on a colour then a colour change is what I'm fancying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnny g Posted October 4, 2016 Share Posted October 4, 2016 If you're prepared to travel, I can heartily recommend Gold Motors. The owner is a friend and he does a lot of GTR repair work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Mark Posted October 4, 2016 Author Share Posted October 4, 2016 (edited) At present I've got a local place that seems to have a good reputation so need to have another chat with them. http://www.autosurgery.co.uk/drchipscuff/drchipscuffs.php But failing that I'll bear your recommendation in mind, thanks.

j_jza80 Posted October 4, 2016 Share Posted October 4, 2016 I've already got new facelift lights. Got them last year from Whifbitz. You need to update your garage pics then Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Mark Posted October 4, 2016 Author Share Posted October 4, 2016 No updates until the new year now. Between now and then they'll be respray, single turbo kit, new inlet manifold, ridox front wings and new wheels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Mark Posted October 4, 2016 Author Share Posted October 4, 2016 I'm still not sure about it.. If anything it's a bit light. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mwilkinson Posted October 5, 2016 Share Posted October 5, 2016 My first car was resprayed in Lambourn Grigio Avlon. It's a bit overdone, although a lovely colour. I'm considering Lamo Grigio Estoque on my current car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Mark Posted October 5, 2016 Author Share Posted October 5, 2016 Just googled both those and they look similar but nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mplavery Posted October 5, 2016 Share Posted October 5, 2016 Range Rover SVR blue is a stunning colour in the flesh .. not sure what the colour called but go have a look it at if you can I went to loads of dealers when trying to decide on colours for mine.

Big Mark Posted October 5, 2016 Author Share Posted October 5, 2016 I work for JLR so have been looking around at their colours. I'm wanting a more sinisher/darker look I think. Hence gunmetals or MSB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Posted October 5, 2016 Share Posted October 5, 2016 When I had my respray done I decided to stick with black, though I changed it slightly to a different black with a subtle sparkle through it. That way, it's still largely the same (I liked it black) but with a wee twist to personalise it a bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Mark Posted October 5, 2016 Author Share Posted October 5, 2016 Looking at colours here at work I'm liking Carpathian Grey https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=carpathian+grey&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwi33sXctsPPAhUFCcAKHc1dBn4Q_AUICCgB&biw=1920&bih=1099#imgrc=5v629DBNfeIcpM%3A and Waitomo Grey https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=waitomo+grey&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwiGmKH2tsPPAhWHAMAKHafIBLgQ_AUICCgB&biw=1920&bih=1099#imgrc=HhXr20yVbhrWQM%3A Tho think I prefer the darker shade Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EdMorris Posted October 5, 2016 Share Posted October 5, 2016 When I was doing mine I looked at Porsche macadamia metallic. Really nice. This is quite a dark pic and it does look more brown in sunlight, a bit more brown than toyota 1A1 (MSB). I used to have that colour on mine from factory and part of me sometimes thinks I should have it left it alone... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Mark Posted October 5, 2016 Author Share Posted October 5, 2016 MSB is my limit of "brownness" so I'd not do the Porsche colour. The engine has only come out today and got a few bits to sort on the car first so still got a few weeks to decide. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noz Posted October 5, 2016 Share Posted October 5, 2016 Put some grams wider OEM style arches on if your going for a respray! I stayed with oem black on my respray. can't wait. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Mark Posted October 5, 2016 Author Share Posted October 5, 2016 Already got my new wheels. Rear arches will need a slight flare and got some Ridox front arches ready to go on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
