car colour

hello,

im rebuilding my car over winter to rhd and changing the colour as i dont like orange,

im having white bodywork as i love white cars, so thats set in stone

the only issue im having is picking the chassis and cage colour to get it powdercoated, was going to go with satin black, any different ideas? or pictures of your cars?

pics of said car





how it look at moment




and a photshop of it being white and black

maybe just me..

but would it not have been easier to build a RHD in white

rather than buying one and changing everything!!

I'd go for acid green for the chassis and cage, not very sublte but then if you want subtle go buy a vectra estate not a 7alike
