Post by: Peter Wright on July 10, 2003, 17:46
Have finished the paint job and now not so sure

I like the silvered plastics
But not so sure about the yellow headlight surounds

Comments please just in case I have to change it back for JAE

Not 100% sure Peter.  I am not saying that I dont like them, just "not sure".

By the way after the Chelmsford Meet, you know I am big fan of your car.

Peter, what does James think of it?  I think he should have the deciding vote.

Thats a funky looking car and with all the work you have obviously put in to get a distinctive look, it seems appropriate so I would I go with it.

My own personal taste is for more subdued appearance mods.

Nice alloys and seats by the way.

I think the jury is still out on that one... IMHO if you were to colourcode the top of the front grill, it may make it more inline with the car... just looks a bit lost on its own... just my opinion though!   s:D :D s:D

It looks kinda cool... I'm about to do mine also, but mine will be body colour.  Just waiting for my new lights to arrive.

Sorry, don't like the lights at all, but the rest of the car is very nice. But, it's different and probably unique - if YOU like it, then keep it that way!   s:wink: :wink: s:wink:

It's different....I'll give you that!!!   s:wink: :wink: s:wink:  

People like the new style Renaults and also the Street Ka, it's all down to personal opinion. It's your car and I can see no reason why you cannot personalise it. It may not be to everyones tastes, but you like it and that's what counts.

If all of us drove exactly the same style of car it would be boring and we would have nothing to talk about.

Looks ok-ish. Each to their own and all that. Great seats though!

But the worst thing – you need to sort that top to get it to fold correctly!  s:wink: :wink: s:wink:

erm.....tbh i think it'd look a lot better if lowered.

Not keen on the lights, seats or side intakes tbh. Just my 2p's worth!!

The indicator bulbs in the front would be better silver if possible.  Each to their own though....

Don't change it back, it looks really good.

The colour match is spot on.

After washing mine yesterday ready for the mini-meet today, I forgot how mine looked as a comparrison to Peters.  Now I have compared the two, I do feel that it makes the lights look more defined...check mine out it just looks like a bubble full of silver!

Definitely needs something doesn't it!...so I think you are right, this grows on you!

Good decision - I'm still not at all keen, but as I said earlier, it's unique and if you like it, you should keep it!

Looks, OK, kinda odd but not too bad!  I think body colour may have looked better, IMO.
