Re: my cavi sri.restoration
matt black is cool for about 15mins it gets tired really easy, how about a satin blue finish?
Re: my cavi sri.restoration
i was thinking of diamond black but its been done so many times.i need to do something different and make it stand out a bit.
Re: my cavi sri.restoration
Maybe a Vauxhall colour that didnt come on a Cavalier?

Re: my cavi sri.restoration
diamond black
smoke grey or
flame red
the only REAL colours for an SRi
SEriously though, it will be nice to see this when its done and that fugly body kit has been sold on / burnt / cut into small peices
Hope it doesn't throw up any unexpected surprises.
