To paint or not to paint.....

Yep I love Jade Green when it's polished up like in my photos, looks awesome 
You don't want to see the state of mine at the moment 
The exhaust is a Milltek which pretty much are identical to standard but stainless steel and slightly larger tailpipes, quite pricey though.

The only thing left to do now on mine exterior wise is to get the new tailgate on, fit my Weitec coilovers when they arrive and replace my indicators and repeaters for smoked items

Think if it werer mine Id be looking out for some small euro chrome bumpers, once its been slammed to the floor and below it will look superb!

I  am sort of thinking about changing the wheels to Porsche Fuchs www.californiacars.com/store/images/7s_8s4.JPG  just like these, only with the black part painted jade, but before that happens I need to know more about the implications regarding the hubs and fitting etc, I know it can be done as I saw a conversion in the states some years ago, It looked awesome!

Yeah, would need to do a hub conversion to 5x112 i think but they are lovely wheels. Nice Idea doing them in jade too, could look class.

So what have you decided? arre you painting it or leaving it?

RJ.. thanks for that, might just take you up on that offer.. my garage at home is bursting with parts at the moment so I'll hold fire just for now. I'm looking at paint over  the Xmas break, so I wont be needing it till mid Dec... LMK how much you want for it, and we'll sort something out
Thanks
