[Mk2] [NA] What colour?

[Ian86]

Ive got a goodwood green mr2 and im stumped as to what colour to detail the engine bay as in hoses braces etc. dont really want green with the car being green. ive got cusco braces with blue ends but im thinking blue wont really go.

any ideas?

...in the immortal words of Jeremy Clarkson...

"blue and green must not be seen, without a colour inbetween"

lololol...I think detailing the engine bay in anyway looks smart mate, multicolour would stand out, you can get silicon vac pipe in red, orange, purple, black, blue, red....and the larger IC joints are easy to get in blue, red and black...you can also poilsh your hardpipe/hotpipe, water elbow and or do the rocker box cover with high temp spray paint. I have a poilished hardpipe in the for sale section for £30...but you can do it yourself easy enough...



When I first got my 2 a couple of years ago I gave it a quick makover...absolutely nothing special at all, but it's much nicer to work on when it's clean.

White might look quite nice

Might be tricky to keep looking clean though

Red is the obvious choice as red and green are complimentary colours on an artists colour wheel.

R.

PS Nice deep red if you can do it on a Goodwood green.

[djpkins]

Ooh yes...deep red would look real trick.

Gold

...or gold. Nice shout. Tricky to get.

What colour are your wheels, stripes etc?

Thanks guys think im going to go with red, i had red at the back of my mind but was not sure. have got refurbed toyota wheels (the ones they were selling off cheap that you had to bid for) no stripes or anything on the car just standard
