Although the colour of my 96 is certainly “period” I have never liked it. It is very similar to a BL colour used on Marinas, land crabs and evens "Bs".

In order to try and perk it up a bit I have changed the wing piping colour.
I think it’s a bit of a “Marmite” situation
My wife hates it. - My next door neighbour loves it.

What do you lot think?
I'm sure you'll let me know.

ORIGINAL



OR

RED

I agree with your wife and I don't like Marmite.

Roger, I hate to say this, but I think your wife is right!

Thumbs down from me as well and I do like Marmite. If you hate the black did you consider dark brown to match the interior vinyl?

It’s not that I don’t like the black, it’s just that I’m trying to liven up the the overall appearance.

I would like to see this finished with the red piping all around Roger.I can see where you are going with it and I don't dislike it.

Red wheels would also be my preference.

I am considering red wing piping for my 1968 car which is finished in Silversand. My wheels are already red !

I also have a red roof rack

My car is off the road and very much "work in progress"

It must be the Italophile in you.
I think it looks a bit 1950s Fiat 500 style.

The red beading wasn't a good idea. Apart from it not looking very good in terms of contrast/aesthetics when it was new - look at it now after 15 months!
