Ok my cossies off the road over winter, while i sort a few things out, originally I wanted to put black morrettes in, black 17s and black tiger stripes (dont say a word, I like them )

But im not so sure if to go in the other direction, some nice silver 17s, full re-spray, colour coded morrettes Been quoted a re-spray at £900 odd so thats the expensive option pmsl

What do you lot reckon or do you guys have any other sugestions, bearing in mind funds are low

I wanted something a bit different, and dont sugest any mad colours lol, I like the crystal blue

 

GurnE had a mint crystal blue saph with black quads & black wheels...looked really nice. But defo dont put tiger stripes on hun, do something different.

 

pmsl....i need to sticker her up if im not re-spraying her, but I havn't a clue what else to do...

Large and small squares, triangle, jig saw puzzle shapes all over the car. Suunds silly but ive seen it all done and they look good.

Im gonna do something totally unique to mine next year as i hate it being white, i just aint decideds yet.

 

Copycat





Do it

Don't listen to Dave, he's a c'unt

 

yeah.. but you actually LOOKED like one whilst driving that thing!


just how many people laughed at you on a day to day basis? average figure will do

 

Actually I was both feared and respected

 

thing is dave what will get more laughs the saff with stripes or a pink escort wrc replica which normal people will just think why has he put bit spoilers from halford son it and wheres his max power sticker

 

Who threw you a fucking bone you mouthy little gobshite!

 

I must admit, whilst I did like the stripes, I think I preferred it without.



And when I peeled the stripes off it did take some of the laquer with it and I had to get the rear quarter painted

 

DaveEscos i like tiger stripes


Hmm thats how I wanted mine to look, but want it to be different not gonna be diff its EXACTLY what you've done Looks though

Ill just have my name plastered all over it joke btw!!!!


Hmmm need to get my thinking cap on, would rather have it stickered than resprayed though, its gotta be cheaper

 

DaveEscos - Dont start on my thread pls, I dont wnat it in the dummy room THANKS


gurnE
If I dont have her stickered she needs re-spraying and to be totally honest I cant afford it

 

APMSL bang bang i shot you down

The thing is thats what jo public who doesnt know better will think which is a shame !

 

all you need after that is to tuck your tracksuit bottoms in to your socks and you're away!

 

What about a Chequred pattern towards the back end Kim, or maybe some rally livery?

Don't do something that everyone has done if you can help it

 

I already tuck them into my rockports, sure that will do thanks

 

Dave with a set of neons and dump valve you might even make the front cover imagine the fame in chavville the front cover of max power

 

I did think about black and silver squares round the back end but there's a few dings on the front end I need to hide lol, well just 1, but it needs hiding

 

Can't you have it knocked out? If it's just the one you should be ok. I've heard alot of the guys on here are good at knocking one out

 

lol since it isn't a dint no looks like someones buffed it too much....



Kev, if your gonna wind people up dont do it on my thread

 

me n dave often trade insults its fine he knows im messing

 

Funny as fook, that bloke

 

Kev? wind me up?


FNAAR FNAARR!!!


think not.. if he did i'd just take away his 'go cat'


and watch him starve the little scrote!

 

What about calling someone who can fit the front ding and then do the chequers on the back

 

If it needs respraying, putting stickers on will not change that "need" . Personally, I think Crystal Blue is one of the nicest Saph colours, so get it painted and looking like new and don't hide the colour .

 

Dave seriously you know im joking and dont mean any offence you have put alot of time and effort into that car but next time phone me up ya self if you have a problem cos getting ya mother to call to tell me her little soilder is in tears and that she worked very hard to get you those ripspeed vouchers to buy the spoilers is way below the belt

 

I would luv to have her re-sprayed but I cant afford it no way no how unless I sell the 2k, which then means im left carless while shes off road

 

Putting stickers over a ding Kimmy will make the dent look worse

Trust me, do what Mike said and get it resprayed....£900 is a very good price.

 

is the car rusting or anything where it needs painting?? if so then you need it painted anyway, if not why not just leave it until you have the cash.

Id rather have a car with fucked up laquer than tiger stripes on it.

just IMHO though

 

Respray is the better option methinks

 

Paul hunni there is no dints, its just where someone has buffed it too much and the paints all funny

If I have her re-sprayed shes just like every other saffy though I wanted something different

 

scrap it fecking taxi

 

Fussball is the DEVIL, bobby!

 

I didn't think that Crystal Blue Sapphs were all THAT common .

 

Listen hun, you only have the right to start about MY car when you are no longer, a volvo owner k?!!

 

Apparently not, but there's still enough of them at the shows

 

i dont own a volvo I have one in my possesion

i think you should get some mini cab graphics

 

or tint the windows so no - one can see its you driving it!

 

In all seriousness............................

The car is already out the ordinary because of the nice colour it's in. Why would you spoil that nice colour by putting stickers over it?

Personally I always think modifying is about improving the look of the car, and personally I just couldn't stand the sheer embarassment of driving a car with Tiger Stripes.........

For me, it's all about a real clean, straight car - nice set of wheels, nicely lowered but not too much, plenty of bling under the bonnet (or clean and standard), and just the few touches here and there. A full respray like you're suggesting just brings a car back to life.

I had my old saff, which was a scabby car, resprayed at a huge cost, and it came up so nice!

Before:



After:





The reason why Tiger Strips work on some cars (like white saffs e.g) is because of how "solid" the colour is. The stripes do well to break up the profile of a white saff (usually because white saffs are a horrible white), but they certainly don't suit blue because of how close black and blue are to each other...

I think you'd "enjoy" the car more that way -at shows, meets etc, where people notice the car because of the good clean mods, and not because it looks like it just jumped of the front cover of a Frosties box
