is that a candy? looks neat

Rakey · Jun 11th, 2006, 05:17 PM

just be careful and be awware that what colour you find attractive could devaule the car come trade in time, as it might not be to everyones taste

fireman01 · Jun 11th, 2006, 05:20 PM

that's the price of modding your car i guess

KJ_daGreenMini · Jun 11th, 2006, 05:36 PM

the chances are that if you wanting to change teh colour of your car you wont be wanting to sell it on any time soon. candy oranges and reds are awsome, really deeps ones are even better with 4 layers of paint and 3 or 4 layers of clear coat, that gets my pants wet.

insane*mini · Jun 12th, 2006, 08:36 PM

Lol. I'm not sure how or what was used in painting that Focus, but it sure looks good. Maybe someday I'll have enough money to custom paint my cars that color. I could have a matching MINI, M3, and Exige S....

going to go for cyan to purple,me thinks,colour code the wheel centres,and fit vented side panels,(trust me it will be nice when it's finished)

fireman01 · Jun 13th, 2006, 08:07 PM

here's some pics of the colour

KJ_daGreenMini · Jun 22nd, 2006, 11:49 PM

not a fan of paint like that now tbh. it looks like an oil slick in water and the surface goes all shiney like a marble.

Go for something original.

VWY · Jun 23rd, 2006, 02:30 AM

To the fireman: you've got the greatest taste in colors of anyone I've ever known of in my life. After drenching your car in that marinade of Bartles & Jaymes, look into the Zeemax body kit, scissor doors and 37 inch chrome blade wheels to offset your born-again honeywagon's brilliance. Game, Set & Match.
Godspeed.

r34ver · Jun 23rd, 2006, 07:56 PM

that focus is chav tastic! im sure a mini would look much more tasteful in that colour.

SteveM3 · Jun 23rd, 2006, 08:25 PM

I'm not keen on flip colours but when I win the lottery I'll get my Aston

painted like
the focus

. Gorgeous, makes Nocole Kidman look plain. Hmmmm well maybe not
that gorgeous.

fireman01 · Jun 24th, 2006, 02:48 PM

hmm,this thread seems to be going a little crazy,37" wheels didn't fit, had to go for 36's,anyway does anyone know the paint code for that paint?(no smart ***** comments please)

Joogle · Jun 24th, 2006, 04:11 PM

Why not go for one of the official flip colours? that way the devaluation element does not come into it?

Fitting the facelift bumpers should not be a problem lots of people have done it.
Not too sure about the S bonnet though, is there not a problem with airflow under the bonnet unless you duct it away?

fireman01 · Jun 24th, 2006, 06:11 PM

don't think there is a prob with the bonnet,don't know if it is an official colour

The orange or the purple?

Oh, and if Chav is like "ricer" over here....that focus is in NO WAY Chav. I'm pretty sure that thing would kill your MINI. It looks great, but is also boosted with a turbo if I remember correctly.

I could probably get specs, etc. if anyone is interested?
