Post by: Dinky on 14 October 2007, 11:14: Ali..Im assuming you are going to drop the engine and strip it and respray the entire car then?

You get them few things done and sprayed the same colour and it would look great, less work too!
Even though Han is biased, which i dont blame her, black cabs do look the b0llix when done right..
Keep the colour and a few of your own little touches and will look lovely darl..

Post by: Dinky on 14 October 2007, 20:23: 90s and cast are quite similar...
Han have you got that cab link as i reckon that may have the code for the colour Ali is asking for..
Ali have you looked in your boot for a code? should be on a white sticker.. be like LK5T - Thats my colour btw..

Post by: gibby on 15 October 2007, 17:34: Le castellettes are on Ali83's mk1 too, they're not D90s. The only difference to those and Han's are the centre caps (and the polish obviously). Also, depends if they are 15s or 14s, if 15s then keep hold of them as they are quite sought after, 14s, not so.

Post by: [han] on 15 October 2007, 19:13: i thought D90's until i posted the pics and realise dmine were the same... didnt think mine looked like that hahaha....
Title: Re: New Paint job! Colour???
Post by: Ali83 on 16 October 2007, 08:13: Only 14"s :cry:
Title: Re: New Paint job! Colour???
Post by: [han] on 16 October 2007, 08:47: it's not a bad thing! It's just that there are a limited number of 15's out there as they were only on a certain model as standard!

Are you'res in good condition as i think they really suit the cabs espec dark colours when polished up (mine need doing!)

Have you decided what you are going to do with the paint?
