was thinking of changing the colour of my saff from white to a none factory colour pref a nice blue such as bayside or estoril blue was wondering if anybody as any pics of any saffs in non factory colours i know this wont please the purist but wanted to be a bit different as every other saff i see is whitethe car is not going to be max powered up as they call it just a different colour with some nice rims i would be grateful for any comments or pics as i havent fully decided what to do

 

there was a yellow saff in one of the mags a few months back with escos rims looked

 

No NOT YELLOW DON'T DO IT MAN! !!!!!

Not yellow, I beg you, you just can't do that to a Saff IMO!

A nice blue, like the EsCos blue, Saffs look in that kinda blue

 

I agree with turboshed NOT YELLOW! the escos blue is nice though

 

i mite paint mine Pink! LOL (joke, dont pannic!!)

 

Imperial blue looks the nuts my old 2wd was crystal blue and then went imperial blue , I cant find the photos right now but there are a few others around like it

 

Just remember changing the colour will devalue the car come resale time.

 

wouldnt do it mate unless its a track car......You'd de-valve it some what, and be harder to sell on

 

as above it,ll be worth next to nothin come resale time mate.

 

I don't think it's gonna be THAT bad, unless it's yellow or pink etc. If it's something nice like Imperial blue I can't see it being a problem at all, in fact a nice new mint paint job in a sensible colour on a 15 year old Sierra could easily make it sell better IMO!

Oh and people ALWAYS say that white Saffs are harder to sell 'cos they're so common!

Good point, wouldn't put me off buyin a car so long as its rot free.

the problem is when you come to sell a cossie we all know that it ain,t that easy. got to have good history, original panels etc, and the first thing that happens when guys come to look at it is that they gonna knock you down, imo the first thing they,ll do is knock the colour if not original. does not matter if it,s a nice job or not. IMO!!

 

Its also got to be a bare metal job, i hate hate it when you see cars that have had a colour change and not done the engine bay or that

 

Yep ideally, but at what cost?

 

st orange????????????

 

No please...

 

with the stripes

 

thanks for all the comments the car is atwo owner saff with 80000 on the clock it as all its original panels fsh and a massive amount of money spent on it including a 2.4 engine done by power engineering with over 400bhp with the torque to match it is visually stock apart from some 18inch tsw pace alloys and some ap brakes after the comments i think it will be staying white might even return the car to stock visually standard wheels etc for the street sleeper look and then add some nos thanks again for your comments

 

Its a split decision i think Some dont mind a totally different , un-original colour, so long its painted properly and to its best. Where there's also persons like me that would only buy an original ford painted cosworth. So either way u'd be ok

 

My mate sprayed his cossie citrus yellow years ago and had white racelines on it.
We all said it looks different but too in your face for a cossie, so it was resprayed gloss black
