Jewel Violet!

Purple was a colour the Focus was never offered in, they came close with a bright blue/purple but not a proper purple like jewel violet. I have a 3 door Focus which desperately needs a respray. I am either going to do it Vauxhall arden blue (which I can't bring myself to do because it's a Vauxhall colour) or jewel violet

To be honest, if you're willing to change all the interior to dark grey or dark purple inserts rather than the blue... then a Jewel Violet FRS would be super unique Paul, and still pretty subtle too, which I know you said was important.


Cheers,
Grant

Jewel Violet would look stunning so long as you do the interior to match

Red....defo NO NO.

Jewel Violet...Unsure.

Grey...I need to find the right shade as the one pictured doesn't look right.

Black...It would be ash black not gloss.

Bronze...Thats winning so far.

I've been through all this, swinging from one colour to another, its a nightmare! Sepang bronze is a safe choice that will be different and not look daft in a few years, just do it, I did and am over the moon with that choice.

It'd be different no denying Obviously if it were mine it wouldnt be painted bronze anyway Mallard Green with Escos wheels or Jewel Violet with black alloys

That said I have no taste what-so-ever and I usually just go for shiny things

BMW Grey or Sepang Bronze.

All the other will just make the car look very dated.

Moonstone is a great '80s colour for '80s cars and Jewel Violet is stuck deep in 1995.....

There was a magnum grey ST170 round these parts, was an FRS replica, and it looked stunning in grey. magnum or polaris grey would be awesome

If you going black, go solid black not ash black. My ash black monte always looked dirty!

Out of the colours on the poll i'd go for jewel violet, but i do think that BMW bronze is the one to go for!

Red is a NO NO after seeing those pics above.. looks awful!

I think you need to steer clear of the usual white, black, green, red, silver etc. and go for something a bit more unusual. Those colours have been done to death, whether to an RS, Focus Cossie or replicas. Not bad colours, just the fact everyone's done them i.e. the pics already posted.

That BMW Twins posted is an awesome colour, even that Porsche with the flat colour.

Would be nice to see something different from these cars for change, been bloody boring now for the past 3 years
