But only done an external respray- in that you've not done inside the boot and engine area (those locations which are not immediately visible).

Also what was the old colour and whats the new?

I had external respray only but the colour change was very subtle, blitz blue to electric blue...

Before...

After...

I think if you go for a completely dif colour it would be worth paying a little more to have all the visible parts as in door shuts all done as will not look very classy in my oppinion.... prob get away with not doing under bonnet and boot!!

Moon Grey changes with the moon phase laugh

You need to consider changing it on the V5 document and when it comes to selling, the purchaser will want to know..

Yup. Black is a pain in the arse to keep clean, but as it's rarely driven, and kept garaged, it's okay. Plus when it is clean and polished... smile

More pics:

Just out of the bodyshop - still needed to fit plate.
Otherside, notice the petrol cap mod?
A closer look at the filler cap mod.
One from the front - parked up near Sheering.
From the back, with the Coupeteile LED lights
From the back again, showing the LED lights working.
Inside, with the black colour strip.
Needing a wash.
Proof of her silverness, prior to any work on the bodywork.

As I barely drive the Coop these days, watch this space. Possibly up for sale in the next few months. Depending on circumstances. (Final part of becoming an ADI).

Still only 50k on the clock too...

Beautiful car mate, bring it to ace cafe next month...

Individuality stops us being boring, so love the lights and that you've done something different with the fuel cap, personally wouldn't do the fuel cap like that, but can't really make an informed decision having not seen the car in the flesh... ;-)

Can't help thinking that dark chrome/gunmetal/light black wheels would suit it more, would look evil...

On topic, mine had a full respray, standard colour grigio steel, but had a pearl put over it, so didn't need to do the shuts, under bonnet etc, but it does make the car look different...
