BRISTOL BLUE CUSTOMS

Think I'd rather have one in burnt orange though ...

... went from a black mk1 octy vrs(which i think looks a bit dated Classic nowadays)

:sun:

... "heavy lard arse mk2"!! lol.

well sorry, they do look so cumbersome - they look larger than the Superb these days

Lol,mk1 will never be a classic! mk2 doesnt look or feel any bigger than a mk 1 in my opinion(having had both) certainly nowhere near the size of a superb,mk2 is so much better in every way than mk 1,anyway going off topic. :-)

:sun:

That would look nice in burnt orange! :-)

They are bloody good when i see what thy have done , he id doing my roof and bits when the funds have built

its very clever when a car changes colour lol

although they might be more than 4 miles away from you guys lol

Do I take it from this thread that the Gold/Bronze/Poop is getting a respray?? :D (you wont have to use greyscale pics any more then either :p )

Maybe, the paintwork has taken a hammering over the last couple of years.

Since the car is now basically finished, now needs some TLC

Orange?

Don't they already make a dark burnt orange mk1, I'm sure I've seen one, possibly an slx?

Mine is a long way from finished and needs some TLC as well just fitted Bilstein B6's on rear as one of the shocks was totally dead. Fronts and Cupra subframe soon.

I have a few rust patches starting to make an appearance as well, how about yours?

Bilstein B6's

hear good things about those

Luckily no rust. Just a few too many scratches through to primer, stone chips, etc. The bumper is a mess though, as thanks to a LCR splitter, the whole bumper got flexed, which has cracked loads of paint off.

iirc thought is was a limitted run colour for Fabia's,

I could picture a bora in it, ...

Bmw techno violet ftw

Now can we get some black ch reps on that bora and a carbon or gloss roof lol

Bmw techno violet ftw

Looks good on a BMW, an old favorite on Golf's, Bora's & Corrado's

Would it work on an Octy though ?

Orange?

Just needs the 'burnt' effect added now

imo the black/orange contrast works quite well.

Think the lack of chrome and subdued headlight tint are key to the colour working.

burnt orange/black looks good on Ginetta's too

Didnt notice the car in that picture........something else caught my eye!! :-)

orange and black ?

There's a car in that picture? All I can see is some eye candy lol

Which one was Ginetta, the brunette?

Edit: never mind I re-read it and they are both called Ginetta DOH! One with Black hair and the other Burnt Orange

I have an octy in cayenne orange

looks more orange in the light and whens its clean lol

Think I saw Fabia I in your colour today

Wasn't this car, but sort off looked burgundy-ish in the shade, and like below in direct sunlight

As far as orange is concerned I think this is about the best finish I've seen, though the Octy on the rolling road is a lot better than my Admiral Blue estate*. Wish it was a colour offered on the Yeti.

* which was trying to be orange by proxy last Sunday

That's the one I thought, that cayenne red

paint code says cayenne orange when ordered some paint for it snowmuncher it looks same colour as the fabia depends on the light how bright an orange it becomes.

Orange!.....do it end of!

Although that techno violet looks good, mate brought his vert round the other day and it does look good and would suit the octy
