It's your car, so if you like it then

Does look a bit Max powerish and not for me but you seem to have done a good tidy job.

This topic reminds of a piccy I saw on the net once.
Some muppet had painted his brake calipers but done the disc, pipes and in fact everything and wondered why his car didn't drive right!

Good for you sir and ignore all the old f@rt comments

Jack The Lad. · 24th June 2008, 21:22

It's your scene, so I won't knock it big - kim, but some may well say that you have de valued it, come trade in time.

bucketp · 24th June 2008, 21:25

Dont really like it myself, but you have done a good job, and if you like it then it doesnt matter what anyone else thinks.

big-kim · 24th June 2008, 21:37

thanks to the ones ho dont

my work

planning to paint the plastic arround the steering weel and the glovebox door

f.ss.t · 25th June 2008, 00:58

i like the bits where the air comes out....very brave doing the centre console! couldnt see myself doing that...

can i ask... did you primer first.... and then paint?
also where did you get the exact paint from? halfords? was it spray on?
i am interested in doing this myself but to the air vents

f.ss.t · 25th June 2008, 01:00

was going to say it kind of reminds me of when you have light weight sports cars like nobles and tvrs and they paint the interior the same as the exterior because they cant be bothered covering the metal work with things that will weigh it down ahaha... gives the stripped out look

Type S Bournemouth · 25th June 2008, 01:24

Dont like it at all myself but each to their own.

robbo51 · 25th June 2008, 07:08

Each to their own.
However....
Will you be buying some replacement parts for when you sell it?

Unknownsoldier · 25th June 2008, 08:13

I did a similar thing to my Corsa when I started driving (I modidified it just a bit), and tbh I think you've knocked quite a bit off the overall price of the car, as you have to find someone with a similar personality to you to buy it, (and from the responce on here, I think that may be a tad difficult).

Tbh it's really not for me (far too boy racer-y).

So Dan.
If I (for example), arrive at your dealership, having painted mine like this, you will give me a 'normal' price for it??
Sorry...
I don't believe that for one second.

onely 2 days of work to give it a new couler or remove the paint
the firt 10 years not planning to seel the car :d
than im 34 years probably already changed it to a more mature couler

l-noel · 25th June 2008, 13:15

Not my taste... but it's your car.
Personnaly I would have looked for a full leather transformation, more expensive but it adds value to the car

angie4m · 25th June 2008, 13:56

I quite like that

You never know this maybe something that Honda start to offer, BMW and Mini offer to have the dash the same colour as the car....fell in love with a BMW Compact that was purple and had the same purple dash inside mmmm

If you like it then thats the main thing.....just have to hope there is another you or me out there when it comes to selling it
