Westley Posted January 18, 2016 Posted January 18, 2016 Wait is this going blurple?! I hope if it does go blurpl eyou get some new SR decals made up for it that would look pretty sweet Quote
Pinkygti Posted January 18, 2016 Author Posted January 18, 2016 Had it for a while now, was going to go on the white one but glad I didn't nowIt's ford spirit blue, was originally going purple but liked this better as everyone was going purple crazy at the time Quote
Rich-k Posted January 18, 2016 Posted January 18, 2016 People tried getting me to paint my car that colour when i was choosing the colour for mine but i wanted more purple than blue haha are you a painter by trade? Quote
Pinkygti Posted January 18, 2016 Author Posted January 18, 2016 No not a painter, I can prep anything but I'm a Toyota tech by trade, best mate is a painter though 😊Nearly the whole car is going blue 😜😜 Quote
Pikey009 Posted January 18, 2016 Posted January 18, 2016 Ah right are you keeping the sr bits and theme then or going completely different. Do love those remix bumpers and it's the only thing I'd be tempted to add to mine. What internal diameter is your green vac hose mate? Quote
Pinkygti Posted January 18, 2016 Author Posted January 18, 2016 Yea wanna keep it as close to an original sr as I can, not going glanza route like nearly everyone else doesKeeping the side mouldings and sr stickers too, only glanza bit is the spoiler Quote
Pikey009 Posted January 18, 2016 Posted January 18, 2016 (edited) What colour decals will you go for then? Yeh not many original ones left. Heard a lot of people say they wish Toyota had made them in blue so will be interesting to see yours. Loved your white one Edited January 18, 2016 by Pikey009 Quote
Westley Posted January 19, 2016 Posted January 19, 2016 Yeah I can't wait to see a blue SR! I think the original decal colours would work tbh, but if not a nice yellow/gold would suit well Quote
Pinkygti Posted January 19, 2016 Author Posted January 19, 2016 I originally wanted a silver one but this was the only one around at the time, but yea hopefully it will look the part for sure, be nice to see an sr in a different shades am thinking maybe white and red decals I think or could go for original, will have a look once the paint is on the shell 👍🏻 Quote
Pikey009 Posted January 19, 2016 Posted January 19, 2016 ive seen a white one with grey/black and it looked really good. get some photo shop guru to sort out a few virtual versions there were loads of grey sr's before christmas wern't there. Quote
Pinkygti Posted January 20, 2016 Author Posted January 20, 2016 First start on the shell last night Quote
Pikey009 Posted January 20, 2016 Posted January 20, 2016 Awesome mate. Don't usually like SR's straying away from stock but we can't all be the same and it'll be a stock ish one with a twist Quote
Pinkygti Posted January 20, 2016 Author Posted January 20, 2016 Cheers guys, I know sr's only come in limited colours etc but as it's staying relatively stick in the outside I think I'll get away with it, End of the day it will be a sr, a 1 off and it will be completely restored 👍🏻👍🏻 Quote
Pikey009 Posted January 20, 2016 Posted January 20, 2016 It's a lovely colour youve gone for. I love the grey of the Megan r26r- would like to get another one day that's rough and do it in that colour with black graphics and black wheels Quote

Pikey009 Posted February 3, 2016 Posted February 3, 2016 Awesome colour I've been quoted 300 for a front and rear bumper spray- minor repair along with a flash on a sill and my wing mirrors done too. Do you think that's a good price? as I don't think it's too bad Quote
