nice work bud, i would go orange, i think we saw an orange one and it looked very nice.  That blue wouldn't look right.  However i have just looked at the Green and i think you need to go Green  s:D :D s:D

This was a tough decision, so after a lot of oohhing and ahhing i've decided to go for shakir orange. I think java green would be too much for me and i've had so many blue cars.
Shakir orange is a very hard colour to picture as it changes from dark red to bright orange depending on light.
Anyway here are some pics for you guys.

Looking very smart! Will look forward to seeing the finished product!
Are you changing the wheels? Standard ones painted black would look smart

Thanks,
Wheels Defo need a refurb but not sure what colour , maybe black or anthracite.
Having some parts hydro dipped so I'll see how the budget goes.

S12VEA  you don't have a part no for your front number plate holder do you?.the standard one looks too big imo

Did I mention I have an Orange Mokka like this?


I've seen the BMW colour (someone has one in that colour locally). It's darker and very striking.

Very nice! Has it got lacquer on it? Looks a bit flat at the moment. Maybe it's just your camera.

Your car looks fantastic!

The large front plates are a drag...  I have just bought a "private plate"  to get the number of characters down to five. I also had it printed without spacing on a Japanese plate which is only three and a half inches deep.  I cut the excess width off with a dremel. Certainly this is outside of the DVLA rules but it does look much better imo and fingers crossed for not being fined!

Thanks for the comments. Going to order a smaller plate holder for my private plate which will hopefully tidy up the front a bit.

Need to photoshop some different colour wheels to see how they will look with this colour. I think there is someone on here who does this????

Looks great. Fantastic job. How much does the dipping cost? What's the correct name for the process so I can find somebody locally?
