well as iv just got myself a fulltime job for over the summer i think money 4 a respray will be looking good.
Im not sure what im thinking colourwise as of yet... got few different ideas floating around but would like peoples oppinions on them and also ideas from people please? :)
well heres the ideas iv had so far

1) Matt Black. - a little part of my car is matt black atm coz waynes halfway thru fixing it.. but looking at it i quite like it!

2) Black with a dark pink flake

3) some kind of nice purple

ideas will be welcome as i am wanting something a bit different ideally :)

thanks

Keep it black, not too sure about the pink flake, maybe black with a purple flake would be cool, and then you could have your brake callipers and interiour purple to match, that would be quite smart dont ya think hun??

metallic black with a purple flake, and the interior trimmed in white and purple leather to match. Black alloys with a chrome lip, and a few chrome goodies inside aswell. Purple cam cover and a few puple engine bay bits and pieces....

i think just a metallic black will look nice...but if you are gonna sort out the interiour eventually then what ever colour you have on the exteriour is likley to have an affect on the interiour..so if u just play it simple with the met black then you can basically have any colour inside..if you start mixing colours on the exteriour, then the interiour might look a bit weird if you have different colours from the outside..

just my thoughts..but black should leave you with loads of colour options for when you get round to the interiour! :p

I think that this colour on the bottom is lurvely!!! If it wasn't slightly girly I might go for it myself lol. :p Would look sweet on your car though I reckon Danni. :)

That 106 at donny was soooooo nice - i would have that!

Go for the black and white contrast for the inside, as i know you were in love with the Ecosse 106 at Donny. The coulours were really effective on that to, would like to see a micra like that also!

reaaly nice colour thgouh i dont think the lines would suit a k11 to have it 2 toned like that.

sorry. k11 is too round to have a straight line through it imo.

two tone is do able.....maybe a more subtle difference between the two colours though. Maybe if the purple was more caburys wrapper in colour.

As for black with purple flake would prob look cool also.

if you were going to go with a two tone like that black and purple shop i would say maybe go for the black on the bottom and a darker purple, like cadburys purple on the top, thought it would make more sense to put the black on the bottom as thats the area of the car that usually gets most dirty so would be least noticable, dont know what it would look like that way round tho

also if you went for that coulour scheme might look good with a purple flake on top of the black?

i would keep it black but if you really want to change it, i think the black with purple flake could be nice, or a purple thays near enough black (if you know what i mean!), dont think the two tone thing would be any good

sorry but that is crap :p

black cars are actually ALOT worse to keep clean..
as you can see the muck on it more.. than a white car :p

proven fact

black cars are hard to keep clean, cause water marks and stuff are white so it shows straight away, out of my mums k11(grey), my old k11 (blue), and my dads 3-series (steel blue) and my car (black!), mine is defintely the hardest to keep clean, ive brought that new turtle wax blade thing to dry it, it does it very well without leave water marks

the bottom one is horrific :(

debated a camaflauge (sp?) effect on mine, just because, then realised a) wayne would moan and b) it would probs look ar*e

Agree that just black would mean you have more scope for interior danni
