Paul my cars not that colour it's actually the original versuvius orange/ red (burnt orange) from the first edition

That orange was the best I could do with photoshop

Here's a picture of the actual colour, which you may not like either, but each to their own



And Back to the options... orange really wasn't an option and that's been confirmed now the concensus seems to be OEM but I'm not decided Maybe I'll leave it black and if I don't like it I can always get the bits painted silver or even get it wrapped and then lacquered....

Guess I'll make a decision on the day.

Peachy - no more parts required yet but you may get a cry for help next week Thanks for the offer though

hi guy, sorry but someone posted an ad for those headlights again, the ones from gumtree, but it was taken down, so ignore my post

btw im looking forward to your upgrade ! Recently bought a 2007 RRS HSE TDV6 for a Pimp-My-Ride-Project.

Tanloverluke, ah ok, those lights....

Yeah it will be interesting if I ever get the damn kit out of customs, they love their stamps and signatures here and every time we go back it's another piece of paper and stamp

Anyway, hopefully get it tomorrow and then the garage can start the build next week, if everything fits and is present then should be done in a couple of days

Still need to decide how to paint the front grill and side vents as I don't like the stock grey...

Cheers

i can understand about the front grille. i have a java black rrs and so i'm having the mesh & bezel painted java black. but im not so sure that i would have yours painted orange.
the oem design is nice, i would go for that!
for the front grill i would paint the bezel (and maybe mesh) the same tone as the black part of the front bumper. just for continuity. i've read that the front grill is a bummer to paint, so hopefully you dont have to change your mind too many times

Tanoverluke, front grille is getting painted once only, because I might end up with the 'standard' grille in black as I think I prefer that to the hse one, same actually for the side vents....

However with the ones I'm getting it's a choice between these two options for the grille:
