Hmm, just googled some pics of Alveston red - I like that a lot as well. I'll get that added to the spray outs I'm getting done and make a decision from there.:)Quote:

Well, I'm getting my mate to do a spray out of both colours on a decent sized sheet of steel. As we can't work out what the base colour is supposed to be, he will be laying the red over a silver metallic base.
It's on his 'when I get a chance' list of things to do, so I won't know for a while I don't think. Hoping to do the colour change on the Rangie over the new year.
I've got to order some new badges for it, and I think I'll get a new grill while I'm at it. Powerful UK have a decent looking one that makes it look a bit newer - and it is in the dark silver colour, not ghastly chrome like most of their stuff.:D
Also, what are people's thoughts on colour coding the door handles and mirrors?
Hi Babicat,
I did the door handles didn't do the mirrors, door handles finished the doors off quite nicely, looked pretty neat.
If you're going for a full colour change then I'd be going the extra mile and updating the grille / lights to the 2010 spec. I'm fairly certain fleabay UK could provide the necessary bits from the various breakers. Considering the work involved in the colour change this is small beer ;)
Rimini's a great colour, just make sure you do all the door shuts as well :)
I hear you, but a facelift kit is £900 plus freight- huge - been quoted £500 for that on its own, plus duties and GST as it is over $1000.Quote:

I'm thinking of getting an aftermarket grill, but the facelift is out of my price range unfortunately.
Oh, and it will be a full and proper colour change. I've done plenty before. This is the first of 3 cars I'll be painting in the next 12 months - and it will be the easiest as well. :)
