Slimg60 0 Posted June 12, 2008 I think your pretty brave to go for a colour scheme like that and rock the boat a little. It's not my cuppa tea (perhaps because I haven't got the minerals to do it!) but as long as your chuffed with it then :thumb right: :thumbleft: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
coullstar 0 Posted June 12, 2008 if everyone was the same then the world would be a boring place as long as im happy , i couldn't give a :censored: gagging at someones work quite frankly is rude and people with such an empty mind are quite dull i find, i understand everyone won't like it but im young and the only thing i would change would be to add some funky grahics too!!! :grin: :notworthy: thankyou for your opinion If you put up your car on a public forum you cannot expect everyone to like it. In MY opinion your car looks awful and youve ruined it. Just because your not following a trend doesnt make the car any better. Your clearly young and we all learn from our mistakes, I bet you look back in 5yrs and think the same. I'll get back to my lawn bowls. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
junkie 0 Posted June 12, 2008 Go on Lucy give it to them as much as your getting, i know alot of women would have abandoned here by now, so good on you. The car is not to my taste either tbh, i think it could work more if the lines flowed more, as round the back the orange drops down from the side so if it was painted upto the spoiler it would flow better, but if it was mine which it isnt then i would go and paint the whole car that colour too, in the sun it would just pop so much, think California sunshine.....keep going with it though.

And your rover with the tartan rug on the back seat. :lol: To be fair to Lucy, she's gotten on and done the job herself which is a lot more than most people on this forum would do, I don't think it's a bad thing that she doesn't hold the car in the same reverance as most of us and will get on and do very different things to what most of us would expect. It might not be the nicest corrado on here, but it is still a corrado, and if Lucy hadn't bougth it, it could have ended up scrapped or stripped.

n3p 3 Posted June 13, 2008 I think the orange looks better than the green :) But 1 thing: you need sideskirts to finish it off! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vwdeviant 0 Posted June 13, 2008 ...it is now giving me deviant thoughts about acquiring a second car and doing it all out in 76-ball orange 8) You rang? :lol: Hey Lucy, have helped paint a few cars/Vans myself so I know just how much effore it takes (spent 8 weeks prepping a split this spring for a mate) so for that and for taking a step away from "OEM+" I salute you! :salute: Takes guts to try something different and while I may not want to do that to mine, I appreciate the work, effort etc. Ignore the Knockers and keep up the work... PS I need my bumpers doing, any chance? :nuts: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dirtytorque 0 Posted June 13, 2008 You did that ? The quality of the work looks good. The colour scheme is not for me but its not the worst car i have seen on here. Do your thing. I look back on lots of things I have done and smile and shake my head. Dosn't mean I regret doing them though. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
