Is this too chavy?

Post by unknownmale »

Sunday and it's raining so instead of doing anything to my car i'm just playing in photoshop and imagining.

Currently stock height and stock colour, but wanting to go a little lower and a bit darker...Opinions?

There was a chap on here called Julian (I think that was his username, too) who had a red mk2 that he painted John Deere green. Fine for a track car, but I'm not sure it's the most stylish colour for a mk2. I wouldn't do anything that's not easily reversible.

epic colour although the owner should've sorted the wing mirrors out.

I think it's important to keep the mirrors and bumpers satin black, a few resprayed cars loose all the bump strips and just look a bit too much. I'll also be putting vinyl back on the pillar and door.

I like the green and the ronals - as others have said probably black bumpers to break it up
