Hi Guys
Need your advice. I have a track/road clio 172 mk1 that is my pride and joy and that I plan to keep for a while as have just bought a 4 bed house so funds to buy anything else will be short. The car is a Cat D because the owner before put the rear wheel under the car so was written off. I have replaced everything including a new rear beam from a trophy and mark fish has set it up so it tracks better than most cars of its age.
Now here's the dilemma. I work in BMW dealership with a body shop which I have a couple of mates who are painters who can paint the whole car for the cost of a cheap wrap. The car being a track car and being 13 years old has a lot of stone chips on and could do with tidying up and even though I will do more track days I like my car to look as mint as possible. The car is black at the moment and I cant decide what colour to paint it. Do I paint it in its original colour or do I go for another type of black so I don't have to tell the dvla about a colour change or do I go for another Renault colour as I was thinking Acid Yellow and do something different?
Would it put people of buying the car when coming to sell it? That was the main question as I know there are a few people that have painted there cars on here and people seem to like them when a good job has been done.
Let me know your thoughts.
Cheers
Rob
