IMHO the color on the bumper looks better than the color on the guard, not too lite, yet subtle. be nice with a bit more gold in it tho.

now that tan EK looks freakin hot, but i just dont think your car can pull it off, its just too big, if ya get where im coming from at all


either way its up to you, but hey...

[Civic_on_bumps]

well i reckon both colour's would look mean like the gaurd colour a little bit more thou

Great minds

I also think the sedan is too big to pull off the tan.

Im going the bumper colour. I really really like both colours but my first glance at both I wnet straight for the darker one.

As per usual the pics dont reflect the "real" colours too good. The bronze/gold effect is a fair bit more noticeable than it shows in the pics.
Also the green colour is actually more of a silvery colour, it was no where near any greens in the decks, wierd.
It kinda looks a bit dull and stock looking next to the other colour... its still a bloody nice colour.

yeah bro go the "gay green" will stand out alot better. you really need to be up close to be able to see the full glory of the Brown colour + from a distance just a black civie , ull certainly seen the green coming down the road
m2c

Pretty much sums up why I like the dark colour im not looking to stand out too much.

[divz06]

subtle ftw 8)

[TEKKIN]

go the bumper colour!! its nice. also subtle..

[hontegra]

go the bumper colour!! its nice. also subtle..

Yeap, the bumper colour is nice :thumbsup:

[freestylin_hamster]

I don't like it... But thats just my 2c obviously.
Can't put my finger on why it doesn't tickle my taste buds though. Think maybe it's a bit to.. ah feck i dunno.
If you like it though go for it :thumbsup:

[Pommy]

At first i couldn't tell the difference...time for an eye check ops:

bumper looks the better of the two though IMO, hope your changing the colour of the old wheels too :wink:

[gotvtec]

Out of those two parts i like the bumper better but when i think about what it would be like over a whole car i think the green would be better

[itekdu]

general consencus (sp?) is the bumper colour, and goin with that colour too... will look hot on the ek! if ya up to nothing in the weekend, pm me ya cell no, an if I get some spare time, I might come for a sticky beak

[Bananaman]

I am with gotvtec on this one. I think over the whole car the green might look better.

But what ever keeps you happy, both will look good thats for sure

[mung]

saw both these colours today, both wicked as... brown bronze darky colour definatly FTW!

[VTEC22]

Bumper looks Hott in real life and so does the gaurd

[Hayce]

At first i couldn't tell the difference...time for an eye check ops:

Im suprised at how many people have said that (so dont feel too bad ) that have only seen them in pics... Theyre very different from each other.

if ya up to nothing in the weekend, pm me ya cell no, an if I get some spare time, I might come for a sticky beak

Im heading off to Rotorua/redwoods on Sunday. If youre down then youre more than welcome to have a look but theres nothing really to look at, the cars not with me. I may still have the gaurd and bumper though, Ill flick you my number anyway .



Gave the painter the nod to go ahead so the car should be getting jammed this week.
Thanks for the help/comments/suggestions with the paint fellas, I appreciate it :thumbsup:

Oh and if youre in Auckland looking for a painter pm "gtref" his site: www.gtrefinishers.co.nz

[DVSCVC]

I'm loving the bumper colour, for sure. The green looks almost too much. And the glitter/fleck in the bumper colour looks awesome.

[Boostin It]

Hayce the guys at GT refinishing have done this:

[Hayce]

yep Im aware

Had been talking to Grant beforehand

[gtref]

Green

Any Hamilton boys seen green on the bumper? Ive given up on my eyes they lie.

[hybrid_H]

hows the rest of the car coming along man?

the engine finished?

is the whole car primered now?

[mung]

the colour on bumper looks good bro. stick to that...


maybe find a nice lighter contrasting shade for the engine bay, so the engine work you have spent hours on can stand out!

[gtref]

oh hahaha i not syre then just wat the colour chip showed me maybe i got the wrong code haha, o well cant wait to see it in the flesh

[Hayce]

The colours definitly the bumper colour (what ever colour that is lol) Ive paid for paint and clear and its getting jammed on saturday.

hybrid_H: you mean the engine or the bay?

The engine itself may have to hold fire for a bit as it looks like Ill be a home owner in the next two months.

The engine bay is bit of a PITA. The shops welder is very busy with work, life and other homers so hes dragging the ball. Hopefully made a deal where he can weld them whats left and Ill camp out over night and grind them down and linish them flat. I enjoyed it last time and if it keeps the car moving :thumbsup:


As for the state of the car its currently rubbed down with the rear quarters in primer (had some panel beating). The windows are out and the ariels gone.
Ill have some pics of the car up today some time.
