nice one mate you got me there i got the idea from someone who did a mk5 van and copied but with a twist an escort cosworth lol ,your right mate it does get a bit out of hand somtimes , and lets be honest its not rocket science is it we are just playing at it realy to some of the work people have done that i have seen over the years ,but we are just doing it to our capabilitys and budget and i thought thats what its about

i like what you do mate keep it up

thanks mark

ps sorry ja didnt mean to mess with your thread mate

Personally i would go with a nice red, s1's look spot on in red!

I would also not go the grey route like beefy as i wouldnt want my project to be similar looking to another especially both being mk3s.

ive been watching your thread for a while and all i can say is you are doing an amazing job .

i will be building my own one in a few years when i get my house .

as for a colour im going to do mine red as S1's look great in red so i would think about going red , dont do it grey as imo there are to many cars being painted grey atm .

Here is the TVR racing green colour mentioned above, I think that it could work well with carbon and anthracite.
