basically me and a friend are going to be building up a 3 door from a restored standard 1.6 shell, so its going to be painted anyway, was going to go white, but everybody seems to have a white 3door these days and id like to be a bit different.
I dont want anything lairy or tasteless in funny flip paints or anything, but i thought escos red might be a good idea?
I dont want black, as ive already got 4 other black cars, and i dont want another moonstone blue, so the choice of standard 3 door colours is limited to say the least, ie white, lol
anyone else who is handy with photoshop fancy producing something in whatever colours they think will look good?
HAS to be on MOs though

I dont really want another grey one, need to be something vivid like the white or the red, ive got SO many dark cars at the moment, (6 in fact), so i want something bright and cheery with this one, just not after another mean and moody looking car at all.
creedy, nah i never sell anything, you should see the number of different sets of rims ive got for some of my cars, LOL
im SUCH a horder!

Then ill leave a nice fat 11 in the road as i dissapear up the raod with the t34 spinning its tits off, sat in my recaros looking at the rs500 dials.
im quite happy that its not going to be classed as "real" one cause of the numbers on the shell, makes no difference to me, every mechanical part on it will be a cosworth one.
Im not into the whole "the car is as good as what is written on the logbook" thing at all.
I also wouldnt change the colour of a cossie if i had one compelte, but this one we are buildign from a bare shell anyway, so its not a case of changing anything, just a case of having it how i want it in the first place.

im a fan of all original cosworths and wont buy any replicas myself. but fair play if you want to go down that route - the first pic is by far the best IMO!

I have a mate doing his XR in the yellow colour, I'll try to get some picts for you. I've seen a couple in red, and it looks good!
