akallis Posted May 31, 2005 Share Posted May 31, 2005 I have decided to keep my supra now so.............. My supra is going back into the bodyshop tomorrow for a full respray as i am bored of the colour so want a change!! Whilst its being stripped etc and ready for spraying i am still deciding on what colour to go for. The colours wihich i am deciding on at the moment are chrome , black chrome or gold chrome. Does anyone have a suggestion or agree with any of the colours that i am thinking about?? p.s attached are a couple of pics of how it looks now!!

nickyboy Posted May 31, 2005 Share Posted May 31, 2005 Does anyone have a suggestion or agree with any of the colours that i am thinking about?? p.s attached are a couple of pics of how it looks now!! Rather than chrome, how about the brushed aluminium look? I think they had a convertible Supra in brushed aluminium in a magazine. Pax Mower I think it was called.

SupraStar 3000 Posted May 31, 2005 Share Posted May 31, 2005 I maybe wrong but I thought chrome isn't legal on uk roads (headlights - reflective). Although I think chrome would look good. or maybe pale gold or light blue/Kingfisher blue got any colour swatches? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeordieSteve Posted May 31, 2005 Share Posted May 31, 2005 Yep it's illegal. If that top one is your then leave it like that!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whitesupraboy2 Posted May 31, 2005 Share Posted May 31, 2005 you can have up to 80% of a vehicle relfective and still be legal. so if you did get done just get urself a Bra for the front of the car and a carbon bonnet to pop on when u have to go show them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Getrag Posted May 31, 2005 Share Posted May 31, 2005 Id say forget all the chrome, flip paint jobs, its old news. Go for a solid one colour. Check out the yellow/red/silver wide-body Supras on http://www.supraforums.com They dont have to go overboard to look gorgeous. And PLEASE, stick on a pair of facelift rear lights at the back, you can get them for relatively cheap after you sell the old ones. Otherwise, love it.

Homer Posted May 31, 2005 Share Posted May 31, 2005 To really make the Top Secret kit work (i.e. looks wise), the car has to have a REALLY low ride hight - check out the pic of the original Top secret car to see what I mean. If this is to be a show car rather than a road car then the it needs to be lowered at least another inch to make it sit right on the road. It won't drive well but will look very nice for the magazines Facelift rear lights and indicators will make a very nice improvement - they're a relatively cheap mod too.
