Post by: RandomJord on 03 November 2005, 16:36: So after my original plan of just gettin the G60 doin a few tweaks an posin. iv come to the conclusion that i actually must make it a full on show mobile! So iv got a 5k budget to be done in like Ãƒâ€šÃ‚£650 chunks (goodbye new kitchen an sofas!) so iv had me engine sorted, cept for the cam which is due end of month an after that im gunna have a full bear metal respray, so anyone recomend a good body shop? an secondly, what colour? (its Oak green at the mo, mite keep)

Much love

I'm with gibby on this one, you'd have to do the inside of the shell aswell if you wanna create a show piece.

Post by: golfpro on 05 November 2005, 09:08: got to keep it oak green. depends what your plans are for it tho. If u want to oldskool it then white always looks cool but as far as i can remember its had a few mods anyways and looks sweet!(yours was the one with the m3 mirrors to go wasnt it?)

Re-sprayin it another colour would mean much more work which means much more money! Arnt I right in thinkin there arnt too many oakeys around anyway?
