Due to lack of tuners i am going to forget the RX7 idea and stick to my R :lol: But washing it the other day i saw quite a few chip's and scratches which i hate as i like it to be mint :? Now as a present for when i pass my HGV (not done yet this is motorvation.) I am going to get the R resprayed as soon as i pass at sprayteck in bolton :lol:
What colour.
I was thinking Orange with 17'' white compomotive Mo's
Or MG blue on all the new MG's :?:
Not to keen on flip's really
Any other thoughts :?:

I would keep it black for cost reasons but i cant stand the swirl marks and you see every mark on it, when its clean there isnt a better colour imo :) I was also thinking cadbury's purple , not to sure :?

Blue seems to be quite common as a respray colour so why not try something different like some sort of green or the cadbury's purple you mentioned yourself?

What can i do to keep the cost down, Can i start rubbing the body down if so how do i do it. Obviously they would check it all over before priming it. Or should i just let them do it :?:
I am hoping to get it done august/september time.

as you can see from the avatar mine was the std red but it had had a shoddy respray :x , i took all the exterior bits off i could, bumpers, spoiler wing mirrors etc, took the rear passenger's glass out, the interior trim and i do mean everything in preparation, then had it resprayed fiat silver, the cost was £1200 and they done a really good job of it, that £1200 includes having to buy the rear passenger window trim, coz the clip's that hold it in have a tendency to snap, they were about £100 on their own and i had the rear wiper and boot lock removed and flushed. :wink:

he also put a new rear window seal in and done a s**t load of welding on some nasty patches of rot.
