Hey guys first thread so abit of help needed!

im on the verge of spraying my panther black zetec s with a white theme but for the life of me i cannot find a similar car!!!!

I wanted to find out what it might look like so done a bit of drawing on mac paint, and i spent effort on it so please what does everyone think?
does it go? if not what colour goes with black on the highlighted areas

All input and criticism welcome guys






Ive upgraded front lights to facelift bubble lights and will change the rear lights now too to facelift but its tricky!

I'm not a big fan really but all to there own I suppose. There's a bloke round my way that has the same areas you coloured in white but in bright green

izzy_61

bright green on black thats a definite no. only bright green thats allowed on a car is on a lambo. as it stands it looks too plain now though so i definitely need to give it a touch up just not sure which colour goes with black???? maybe silver

I don't like it, but it your car so if you do then do it

There's a few in Essex. Seen black/white, black/lime green, black/red, black/yellow. All the same bits you highlighted. Personally to me it looks terrible in any colour, and white looks like your primering it for another colour. But it's not my car so if it makes you happy then do it. Don't worry about pleasing the mases. It's not them paying for it or driving it. YOU are.

I dont like it personally. Looks cheap. The white bits would be better in red or even better than that carbon wrapped. Black and carbon i like

izzy_61

Thanks for the feedback guys im definitely not going to do it white!
Carbon wrapping them plastics sounds interesting are there any pictures floating about?

or maybe black on black? the plastics look faded out like this it definitely needs something imo

PS. Does anyone know if there is a badge/quality sticker for the silver bit on a zetec S steering wheel? i bought one from ebay but its too big to go on the steering wheel was the same size as a tailgate S. any help would be appreciated thanks.

go on dmb graphics website get some gel overlay badges ive got red on mine .The only real thing to do with the plastics grills is painted black and maybe wrap the the plastics on the doors and the mirrors. Ive got some carbon wrap to have ago with mine ill get some pics up when its done .

theres a few STs round here that look like that, aswell as red grills or green grills ect, they look shit imo
try gunmetal?

SBT83

Gunmetal grill surrounds, black grills, panther black rub strip, mirrors and boot handle, gunmetal comps sat on coil overs.

My 10p's worth

Edited to say ask if someone would photoshop to see what it's like

blueovalman

I would suggest either all black or carbon dip the grills, then either black or anthracite wheels

P_is_for_Paul

I think they look good as they are. Maybe some ST side skirts and ST wheels, but I wouldn't go crazy painting the plastics, it'll just chip off over time anyway. Put your money away and get some decent springs and shocks to lower it a bit.

Cossie.jack

Must be an Essex thing mate, I see them every where

Cossie.jack

Maybe get some new wheels?

Suspension and wheels would be my first port of call if I wanted to make the car look better.

JezST3

Hi personally I think the white would be terrible, go black on black like im doing I know mines a focus but hopefully theses pics will give you an Idea






just waiting for Zun sport top and lower grills to come up at the right price then the look im going for will be near complete sorry for hijacking your thread

izzy_61

thanks for everyones input. i have decided to go for gun metal and gloss black lets see how it looks!

how comes everyone says change the wheels? i mean theyre not ST 17' but zetec s 16' rims are good enough no?
another addition im going to make is 12.5mm spacers and front rs splitter.

does anyone know where i can get the splitter at the cheapest price possible?

SBT83

eBay? Might be able to get a fiberglass rep

Cossie.jack

I dunno I suppose the wheels are abit boring imo, maybe get them sprayed a diffrent colour instead of changing them? But I mean if you like them as they are then leave as its your car mate!
