do you want the car to be a standard colour or would you go for something non-standard?

I am fond of 040 super white. My last GT got a freshen up with 040 and looked very nice. Anything new that you put in the engine bay or exterior really pops with the white.

Heres my old GT





:)

Good luck with the choice

:)
 
I wouldn't go red myself as not a factory colour and whites don't really sell on gts.as someday you will be selling it on so have to keep it standard ish colour. Maybe the mk1 gray/green colour ?

Hey Phil, Cormach,

Never got round to finishing her off :(

Pretty much finished off the paint and then sold it as spares/repairs. I started being very anal about parts going in that didnt look new, so was going out and buying new parts and started spending way too much money. In the end ran out of $$$ so had to get rid.

Now I have bought another one :(

LOL

Sorry to hijack thread
