Can't decide... Your opinions please

[Dan172ph1]

So I'm planning a full respray of my titanium phase 1. I have two options

1.respray in honda championship white
2.respray but original titanium silver

Both are very nice colours but I feel like I'm stuck between a rock and a hard place
I'm also a bit indecisive about the wheel body colour combo

 

[Harpham]

If you're gonna do it, you might aswell go for a crazy colour imo.

White would look great, but I personally never ever want to own a white car, as they're a b**ch to keep clean.

 

[TheEvilGiraffe]

By full respray, do you mean an entire body strip down ? That'll be fapping expensive and you won't have your car for a couple of weeks at least I'd image.

If not, surely the overspray will be hideous in white, especially if the inside of the doors etc are silver.

Why do you want to do a full respray ? What about a wrap ?! Much cheaper and 'easily' reversible if you don't like it...

 

[Dan172ph1]

It'll deffinately be a full respray doors,boot,bonnet,bumpers,wings off the car.not stripping the full interior,I'll be doing all the prep and stripping so costs will be low plus it's my brother in law doing the spraying so got a good deal for a top job

I had a full respray on my phase 2 and to be fair i regret sticking to the standard colour, was a good opportunity to do something a bit different.

Just make sure you get the engine bay done aswell

 

[Dan172ph1]

Yeah it'll all be done mate,I get a bit anal about things like that

White does not suit the 172/182 shape Clio IMO, it looks old and dated. It looks fantastic on the 197/200 shape though.

Caps lock happy much?

[BIGASH]

Out of your two choices I would go with White but would get one with a pearlescent in as that would look special! But as said above i'd go wacky!

 

[mr.pink87]

1*2's look awesome in white.

 

[Eddie.]

Especially Honda white, slight creamyness to it get it done!

try owning a black one then !

 

[Dan172ph1]

I don't want a wacky colour tbh but Toyota do a very nice pearl white.

 

[clancy]

they do look nice in white, and dunno what people are on about saying white cars are hard to keep clean...in my opinion there easier to keep clean than a black car! my dad has 2 white cars and they rarely look dirty

although personally, id get this.... http://www.google.co.uk/imgres?q=bmw+1m&um=1&hl=en&sa=N&rlz=1C1SVED_enGB422&biw=1366&bih=643&tbm=isch&tbnid=Xk8JjdJ-SYrNNM:&imgrefurl=http://insidelane.co.uk/%3Fp%3D2313&docid=vRvlVyXRoIbcGM&imgurl=http://insidelane.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/62513-c-bmw.jpg&w=1500&h=933&ei=zi-0To6iHJPL8QOuvMz4BA&zoom=1&iact=hc&vpx=946&vpy=354&dur=1160&hovh=177&hovw=285&tx=127&ty=110&sig=106043180929197816023&page=1&tbnh=102&tbnw=147&start=0&ndsp=28&ved=1t:429,r:26,s:0

would look tasty on a ph1 !

 

[Dan172ph1]

That would look special,I'm not bothered by a colour that's hard to keep clean,I wash it every week what ever the weather

 

[clancy]

i love that BMW colour, very nice, very special but its not right in your face. i think the front of a phase 1 would look so mean in that colour

either that or white, as white does look very nice. think ive seen a RB 172 ph1 before and it looked nice

 

[ch!ppen]

I'm struggling to understand this 'full respray'... Are you having all door shut's, boot shut, engine bay etc. painted? If not, go standard. It'll look an eye sore otherwise. If you are doing all that, go white if you like but i don't think Championship White is the nicest of white's out there.

 

[jenic]

Acid Yellow.

 

[Gally]

Keeping it the same colour is the best option.

Changing the colour of a car these days is never something I suggest.

Titanium is also the best Silver i've ever seen.

After Mercury, right?

doors, boot, bonnet, bumpers, wings, skirts,spoiler,lights and all rubber seals will be removed aswell as the windows. what whites would you suggest mate?

 

[Gally]

It still doesn't look like Titanium!

Nimbus is grey!

 

[jenic]

Nimbus is over-rated!

EFA

 

[Rich_172]

Lunar grey ftw

Nimbus would be cool aswell

 

[Dan172ph1]

titanium does look great in the sun

 

[Dan172ph1]

Lunar grey ftw

now thats a nice colour combo

 

[jenic]

Lunar is very nice, thats a good suggestion.

Renault do have some awesome colours!

 

[Gally]

It's in a different league to Iceberg.

 

[Jimbo_M]

Keep it the OE colour, it will look like a mint example after its been done (provided the wheels and other touches ect are up to scratch) and it will help you more imo when you come to selling up.

 

[Chris205]

Alien Green

 

[Dan172ph1]

I've come to a decision... Respray in original titanium then add a few bits like phase 2 door strips and possibly tail lights and cup spoiler,oh and nearly forgot my new rs Renault sport badge for the back.

 

[Revels]

What a massive waste of cash!

 

[Dan172ph1]

What a massive waste of cash!

Not at all mate,it's gonna be done professionally by a family member so got a good deal,it needs doin especially the roof and whole front end,plus idiots in car parks have put a few scrapes in the doors,I'd rather have the whole car sprayed to save the hassle of slight differences in colour.

 

[Juude]

I thnk he means about sticking to the standard color.

If I where you I'd go matte colors Or RB... just 'cause it's lovely.

 

[Dan172ph1]

What colour is rb then? I'm not clued up at all on the abbreviated paint names? The only matte colour I like is the blue on the 182 cup (the blue with the optional stripes)

 

[Juude]

That's RB Or Racing Blue fella. Lacquered though :/ I wouldn't mind a completely flat color.

 

[Revels]

That's RB/Racing Blue.

But it's not matt.

 

[Dan172ph1]

That's RB/Racing Blue.

But it's not matt.

I meant a flat colour mate but thanks for the heads up,seems I've not decided yet then :S
