sambo Posted November 25, 2007 Report Posted November 25, 2007 Hi all, i am having my mk1 sprayed in February and i need some inspiration. At the moment it's a toss up between these..... This one is gorgeous but really you need the HUGE deep dish wheels to make it look that cool! or this.... Very sexy and pretty BUT i think with my black wheels it may look a little strange? And having the really nice glossy black, my fibre glass arches will crack and it'll look shite?? Or this..... I like this cos it's different...... Whats your thoughts peeps? If you have any more inspirational pics of escort, i'd love to see them! Cheers.
Noodles Posted November 25, 2007 Report Posted November 25, 2007 I like the blue and silver, blacks a pain and every one gonna do the gold+red I can see it happing
over_head_cam Posted November 25, 2007 Report Posted November 25, 2007 Choose your own Sambo, something that's not been done before (or not much anyway )
RETRO_AL Posted November 25, 2007 Report Posted November 25, 2007 I reckon a nice silver/grey would look the nutts
negri Posted November 25, 2007 Report Posted November 25, 2007 as OHC says pick the pattern you like and choose your own colours
James HPE Motorsport Posted November 25, 2007 Report Posted November 25, 2007 keep it white and use your dosh to buy some Image wheels!!! BIT FAT DEEP DISHERS!!! http://www.imagewheels.co.uk/
Nick Mexi-cos Posted November 25, 2007 Report Posted November 25, 2007 How about Silver Like Stans with Blue top half similar to the one you like but twisted Photoshop anyone
Rick Posted November 25, 2007 Report Posted November 25, 2007 the black and gold is VERY nice serious prep work though
bmxdave Posted November 25, 2007 Report Posted November 25, 2007 British racing green bottom with a gold top
oliwally Posted November 25, 2007 Report Posted November 25, 2007 British racing green and silver rs2000 strips
Gareth Posted November 25, 2007 Report Posted November 25, 2007 Why not a twist on an old colour scheme Like Jon betts from CF mag's Mk1, Castrol style scheme, but in silver with black and green stripes instead of red and green on white What we need is imaginative photoshoppers to step up
tazrocks88 Posted November 25, 2007 Report Posted November 25, 2007 i think black instead of silver but i have always luved that blue/silver look
Admin Vista Posted November 25, 2007 Admin Report Posted November 25, 2007 I'm liking the gold and black Guiness theme, I think Rick posted up a good photoshopped pic of that colour scheme a few weeks back. Edit: yes he did, unfortunately the pic is no longer there. It looked the dogs nads though http://www.oldskoolford.co.uk/phpBB2/vi ... ht=guiness
PIG Posted November 25, 2007 Report Posted November 25, 2007 what ever you go for your ganna need a set of these fella
ilovegrannys Posted November 25, 2007 Report Posted November 25, 2007 Own design mate. Take plenty of time over it as well. Look and new car colours as well, BMW are doing a nice choice. Go in to VW garage, they have colour schemes on the wall. Failing that you cant beat the Gulf scheme. What ever you choose mate - good luck
sambo Posted November 26, 2007 Author Report Posted November 26, 2007 keep it white and use your dosh to buy some Image wheels!!! BIT FAT DEEP DISHERS!!! http://www.imagewheels.co.uk/ I agree, but to get the deep dishers on, i have to shorten my axle too! Then it starts to get expensive!!! I might hold out for some 15" BBS deep dishers to come up. One day a set will emerge and i'll sell the missus to get them! I would have got Nickmexicos split rim compo's by now but it would mean down grading the brakes and also shorteming my axle again too, (wide atlas). Cheers guys, definatley some interesting opinions there. I actually like the idea of the Bentley green...... Love that colour (or BRG). Not seen it on an escort before....with the gold too, hmmmm....... Some photoshoppers would be appreciated here! The thing is, is that is HAS to look old skool. I dont like modern paint jobs on old skool cars. I love the Alan Mann but it has been done so many times. The black and gold is gorgeous but as i say, the arches WILL crack and then the gloss black will look poo. Can a photoshopper do the BRG with gold maybe??... Cheers all!
oliwally Posted November 26, 2007 Report Posted November 26, 2007 Green does look good and original. Still recon with some rs2k stripes would look mean. Failing that maybe an alan mann type job using green black and silver or gold. or... a wilment paint job,the old galaxys looked good and i'm sure that wilment did race escorts as well.
mossy Posted November 27, 2007 Report Posted November 27, 2007 like the blue and silver one....but your own idea would be so much better
