Colour should be more Kawazaki green not so pea green.

What you reckon, nasty or not.

fernando_khan

ummm...not by cup of tea...the problem with that paint is the paint job has to be spot on otherwise it looks awful...i think a s2 will look better in that color...

im taking thats a photoshop??

RstNut

When i read green S1 i thought lets have a look at this, its gotta look crap

But i think it looks wicked m8 and well suits it

Brave man painting it that colour!

matts1

It's my old S1, i changed it in photoshop, I think a proper Kawazaki green would really suit the S1 and I am considering doing it to one. Think black decals on it and possibly black and green interior in modderation on the green.

Just want to do it in a way that it can be reverted back to the original colour without to much hassle.

Resale might be a nightmare, really limited market .

you can not paint c90 gov in snot green mate

i remember tha car when my mate first bought it

i fell in love with it

the car is just immaculate and rapid wel it was when he owned it

but dont paint it bar white mate please

matts1

That motor is sold now, after many years in Coventry it's gone to a mechanic in Blackpool

Yep, i loved the car, spent a stack on it but was time to move on.

Will pick up a cheap S1 that is heading for the breakers and rescue it, will feel better if I do that than spraying a tidy one.

xr4x4rs,

this is how she looked when i sold her on, pearly white with all the trick bits, was a quick little motor.

not keen on seeing that done to a real s1 tbh.
imp blue with white decales would look good

RS_Rawli

matts1 im sure i used to see your car about in bedworth...? and 4x4rs i remember your converted 1.3 from back in the multystorie days never see any of you guys at the central rsoc meets? there is one this sunday.

Willem

Wasn't sure about it, but when I saw the original(and i'm not a fan of white), I liked that much better!!!
But, maybe it will look good in real life

CasperR

That color is a bit too much.. max power imo

Zetec_mk4_XR3i

Looks awesome in white, but don't look too bad at all in green!!!!

rs shawn

Quite like that. Matt..glad you sold her in the end. Remember me? I came to look at your car one night & met you in a car park (Think it was Asda). I was in my red Vectra with big alloys on. Got me a S1 in the end tho.

dry

not as bad as i thought it was gonna look. The more i look, the more i can't make my mind up! . . . No,diamond white for me. Did ya try any other colours?

Dazzi_S2

There is only one colour for S1's and thats white

datar18

the pic of it in white looks a spitting image of my mates, except my mates has spots which i needs to finish the front end off nicely

not too keen on it in green though

apples24

sufsRS

Bri 16v

M.A.D.RST

Always thought about that

Glenn5

its ok if you never want 2 sell it on, would look better with rondells tho

Red16

Unless you have an original black or red or one-off Mercury Grey

James: you got any more pics of the mallard green one? Looks quite smart. Is it an original S1, or just a Mk3 done up with turbo bits?
And what's the deal with datsun-des??

James Raby

Performance Ford March 2002, same issue as SOY on the cover

datsun-des can go shoot himself in the foot

Drjones

S1's are white or black (if you lucky). should stay like that to!

James Raby

Ramonster

I think it's not bad! But it's still not the original color wich is the best on a s1

i remember that car when

it had no side stripes on it

and had gold mondeo wheels

looked gorgeous

then the last time i seen it, it was up on ramps a cov gearboxes as it looks now

is or was it still bling underneath too

what did you do to it

as i know when my mate sold it the new owner blew the engine and fitted a standard lump back in it

dont think it was u though

are you from cov?

turbo matt

now that looks good!

matts1

RS Shawn, yep I remember you, your new S1 looks the biz, well done mate.

XR4x4rs, I had the new rims fitted, new radiator, new interior as it was white vinyl,new belts,alarm,pipes and chrome, back lights, new AP clutch etc etc..... and yep Alan sorted me out with a new gear box, although the previous owner fitted one a year before me. used to eat them alive.

Needed a decent respray really to bring the bodywork back up to scratch as little bits were going in places.

Really like that dark green one, still have the mag feature.

Lee H

i didnt think they came in any other colour.
i thought princees diana had the only oficial black one

There were a few, Mercury Grey one I did have a piccie of it, can't find it now though
Moza had a LHD S1 in Red, thought it were resprayed so changed it back to white - it was originally Red
There are many, just knowing where they are ain't easy to find out
Also have the Datapost S1's

scottye

the dragon green one looks great

Mrs T

i dont like it

too bright
