Sonic Purple respray (172MKII)



  Titanium 182


looks nice

would look mint on some cup wheels

i dont think standard cars suit resprays in non standard colours

is it real or pshop?
 

Lee

  BMW M2C


Nice colour.

Odd, its got the little lip in the centre of the windscreen at the top. 172/182s dont have that.
 


Rick they must have been out of the windscreen rubbers when yours was made. That raised lip in the centre at the top that Lees keen eye spotted is fitted to models with sunroofs.It kicks the airflow upwards and stops the wind buffeting and making a stupid noise when the sunroof is open.

But Ill let you off meggerman, cos I think that purple looks kind of cool!

busted
thats because it was such a great picture to begin with. ;)

as far as photoshop is concerned it was for research as im considering a respray in BMW M3 EVO Techno Violet for my 172MKII although il be searching through violet/purple colours for the best match before its done.

Hmm, well theres actually a story behind that. It involves a ditch, a low hanging tree and some sideways action on the A46. Whoops.....

Result = one new roof skin.

No idea why it came with the wrong seal tho.

paintshop or not this still looks sweet to me. Had me for a minute as the sun seems to reflect off the side.

Is i just me or are the wipers around the wrong way? Or the right way for our right hand drive cars?

lovely!

looks like midnight purple on the R33 & R34 GT-Rs

--chris
Sorry to say, but the midnight purple is a tad different to that. Especially o the R34, it is almost pearlescent.

However it does look goo
