No worries Andy, I must say I really liked the white once I'd done it.

Look forward to seeing it 8)

The only yellow polo Ive seen is a crappy looking mustard yellow one, and that twin engine roof chopped one on the youtube video. Why the change of heart on the grey mate?

Ive only seen a Mk4 in yellow and it looked pants. But saying that flash red can go to look rubbish if it aint looked after, Ive seen quite a few pinky-red coloured polos about.

Yeh flash red as a solid can look really flat and dull, but keep it looked after and its quite a nice colour......i'd still rather have metalic though :(

I never finished the job, didnt do the door shuts, underside of bonnet etc. Just cant be bothered now as i'm starting to dislike the colour. Its very drab. Also i've halved the resale value at present.

So, i've amended the photoshop tom did for me, adding my wheels, removing the rubbing strips, put a chrome badge back on, red stripe grill, sprayed the mirrors and roof black, oh, and sprayed me lil stripes on! (They will be sprayed on, in the same colour as the roof)

Mixed the paint up today, looks beautiful, really pearly. Handed my notice in today, start new job next month, so should get some time off in between jobs at the end of the month to do it.

What do you guys/girls think? Tough if you dont like it, cos its gonna happen! Any more suggestions appreciated.

That colour was high up on my want list to be honest! May do my convertible in raven blue or r32 deep blue, not to keen on the current colour.
