Hi There.
I'm looking for a S1 for a project, with the intention of respraying it either Red or Black.
I understand that the S1 is held in very high regard.
I wanted to hear your opinions on respraying them non white colours?
How would it be recieved? The interior will be kept completely orginal.
I would'nt be ruining an old classic would I ?
( i understand that it wouldn't be worth as much a completley original car, but i'm not planning on selling )
Thanks Ollie

No shame in respraying it I'd say, unless it was a 10k miler mint 1 owner car, but if it's just an "normal" S1 then why not, you'd just be freshening it up anyway. A few people have done it before. Mostly red/black/grey ones what colour were you thinikng???
Sorry just read your post again you said red or black...

Thanks for the replies,
I know ultimatley the decision lays with me, however it's always good to hear other peoples views.
To be honest i was expecting some stick, especially for the S1 owners.![Top](https://passionford.com/forum/images/smilies/smile011.gif)
I was originally thinking of spraying it Dark aubergene, I have a RS2K in that colour and love it,although wasn't too sure if it would look quite so at home on the S1 ?

Once i have sourced a decent shell, or project car, I'll be sure to add pics of progress or start a project thread.
