Respraying 172..What colour??

[Guppy]

Lunar grey is pearlescent BTW...

Gold flake iirc..

 

[cat171]

Any sort of gunmetal grey, 599's have a nice grey just now.

Think you would miss the metallic if you get flat lunar grey imo.

I don't think LG is flat tbh bud, i'm not 100% sure though.

- beaten to it.

 

[bendee]

lunar with red wheels would look mint. also that skyline colour would look very good with black wheels

 

[pugs9000]

White!!, white looks very nice nowadays. Provides some good contrasts with black wheels/trim etc..

Looks great with mud too, which after 5mins of driving is what it ends up as!

 

[Fletcher]

^^^That is the problem with white.

Thanks for all the colour suggestions guys :approve:

 

[DeanJ]

Viper Green. No question.

oh sh*t thats hawt!!!

Ah cheers mate, looks like primer.

It looks darker on the 26R than the vee aswell.

Lunar sounds ideal. Better than that green. Max power look about it.

I do like the green...but is it too bright, dare i say chavy?

I'd quite like to see one in Nimbus silver/grey as in the 197 colour...always thought that would look good on the MK2

just because it has gold flecks in the base coat doesnt mean its pearlescent..
its just metallic!!
pearlescent is a 3 stage and im pretty sure lunar grey is 2 stage

 

[Guppy]

Only going on what a friend has said

He own's a Lunar grey BTW and was orderd when he spec'd the car so perhaps Renault have got it wrong?

 

[jayxx83]

signal green (997 GT3RS) and black speedlines all the way.

Looks like the two most popular are Porsche green, and lunar grey...ummm :S

Go with the cheapest and spend the rest on Seats/Cage/Harnesses

Yes mate. As soon as my GF gets her own daily driver i'm going to more then likely get a set of Bimarco buckets/harnesses, small RS steering wheel roll-cage....

Then go for a re-spray

 

[Guppy]

Good darts

Look forward to seeing the progress

 

[howie p]

I've only got a old pic (minus the cup spolier) with anthracite wheels.

 

[Nick_P]

Just go for the R26 R theme. Will look the b****cks, but not so chavvy/in yo face as lairy colours

Top Job!
