I'm thinking of respraying my Jimny Fastback at the mo and have settled on Suzuki Swift Yellow. It is a darker yellow and looks the goods on the Swifts.

Should look good with my black ragtop roofs.

My plan is JCB Yellow (in fact it's called Ford construction yellow or Massey Ferguson Yellow No 2) with the cage and bits in satin black.

Go Orange with the black bonnet.

There's a family of Russian mafiosa lives near us when we're in Cyprus.
They have one of those Khan(?) Range Rovers.
You know, buy a RRover then spend the same(+) on it again to make it as it should have been out the factory. LoL!

Sounds really well but stands out as well, bright orange & black.

Or do as I'm doing, flatting the black paint on mine and doing it satin black to match the wheels.

BUT PLEASE NOT WHITE, you don't live in Chelsea, do you?

Chelsea, Why chelsea? do they all have white cars?

Unfortunetely my wife is making me put off the spray job now as we have just bought a house and even though it wasnt going to cost much, anything we can save at the mo would help :sick:
plus Im not sure what the new neighbours might think of me if I turn up in a bright orange noisey jimny.
I guess all the rest of my modding plan need to go on hold now dam it!! ;( but aleast I get a new well very old house!!

White Chelsea tractors. Only ever used for mounting the kerbs! :D
Just a life style thing down there, trouble is, it's spreading Northwards!

Honestly, that RR with the Russkies in looks really, really well.
Wish I'd taken some pictures of it but his goons were in it and they were tooled up. So no f'ing way was I gonna point a camera at them.

It's a deep orange, heading towards red, almost, with a glossy black bonnet and roof. Big as in 'kin BIG black and chrome wheels with the lowest of LOW profile tyres on it.
My mates a Police inspector in the area and he gets out of it's way when he sees it in the rear view mirror!

Do yours the same, and it would look similar, only further away! LoL!!

I'm back there in April, so if I feel lucky, I'll get a snap of it. Looks really the biz as the sun's going down. It glows as if radioactive! :D

I could take the same line as with my "Dark Yellow" (ie. Black) Coil Springs.

I claim its actually "Light Black", is that better?

I am sure my wife will not let me change the colour now after the "discussions" we had in the showroom a few weeks ago, roll on March!
