Colour scheme opinion poll

Post by turdbo »

Hi all,

Long time no post ( been on a long OE in london)

I will be returning with a Tom's replica air scoop for my aw11 ( previously mstr2/GIZMO ) as well as a replica buddy club front lip which I will have to paint.
That being said I have toyed with the idea of getting the bottom half painted in two tone dark silver OR panda style black.

I'd like to get the teams thoughts and ideas on this, and what people like the best.

Personally I find the straight white a little boring and am leaning towards panda.

I won't post any photos because it's easier to just Google it.

ALSO if anyone in NZ would like me to send them a buddy club replica front lip or Tom's replica air damn,let me know. They aren't super cheap and shipping is the real killer,but if you really want them I can organise it no sweat.

All the best, TURDBO MITCH.

I used to really like the way one of my AW's was painted. It was 2-tone but I did the roof black and it worked real well. Made the car look lower.
