As above, thinking of one. Same style as current but portofino for white and bronze for black, wheels and all.

Anyone any good at photoshop. I have a couple of quick crude efforts-

If the traditionalists would hate it, that's ALLLLL the motivation I would need!

That paint job, £1200 for a mint one you reckon?

I dunno, depends how far you go I guess, engine and glass out, £3k I have seen before. But a good respray could be 1-1.5k maybe.

Nice! laugh

Cheers for that Kayjey. How did you manage that in photoshop? I was messing with the colour conversion settings.

You missed out my all-important go-faster slashes though!

I think it would look great in white with black. I even like the black slashes, go for it I say, why do all coupes need to look the same!!

cant help thinking that a white coupe with carbon fibre accessories (headlights, pillars, mirror brackets and that little insert on the mirrors, fuel cap) would look really nice.


Welly, have a look at a lexus dealership, the new(ish) IS's are available in a very nice brilliant white which has a very, very, subtle pearl, which could help to empasise the lines of the coupe.


FWIW, like the idea of the speed slashes in a contrasting colour, but be sure before you buy so to speak, There is a porto which lurks around here with them done in gold and in my opinion looks sick

Is that reverse psychology at work ???

I DONT think you should paint the interior gold either.

(Lets see if that works) laugh

laugh nope quite serious, I think the white and black as shown by Kayjey looks quite good, and even better with black slashes and lets be honest, anything will be better than Welfs, bronze and lilac colour scheme he has now wink

To be outcast from a bunch of commonites, only pleases me all the more! It's my sole motivation. tongue

So what colour would you do with a respray, including decals? I was also thinking Red with Yellow bits, Yellow with Blue bits or Black with Silver bits.

Bits = rear light surrounds, slashes, wheels, mirrors and grille.

Keep it the same colour, as you like high speed it will get stone chipped and show murple underneath the white....not good!

I would get LE or Zender kit for portofino coops as it really looks great, have a look in ninjas sig picture.

...another nice coop... Porto & dark grey wheels!
