Audi dolphin grey - here to be shot at - always wanted a car that colour and think it would be a more reserved option. They dud some later Austin Healeys in a similar colour.

I had a Dolphin Grey Audi. :lol:

If I were going for a grey, the Audi Daytona Grey from the RS's would work a treat. In fact, I think somebody already did a VX in that colour a year or two back. :unsure:

Or the RX-8 231PZ grey... Can't remember it's official name but that really was a perfect shade of silver.

I'm stuck on what colour to do my project car! All three of my choices mentioned here, White,grey or orange. Really did fancy a bright White but not sure if it would affect the sale in the future!

Lambo orange in nice :)

Or Europa Blue ;)

Interested to know what a full respray might cost, for those who have enquired or had it done before.. I enquired about getting the flaws on my car touched up, which the painter recommended a full respray and quoted quite a figure to do so..

Do people think us VX'ers are just made of money!? lol

I'd also +1 the Lambo SV orange, looks amazing... arancio atlas is the official colour name, right?

Expect to pay about £2k and upwards thumbsup I bit the hand off the people who did mine for £1300 :D

I wont be spraying it a standard colour (its silver ish now) I think at the moment its a toss up between Lotus Chrome Orange or Renault Liquid Gold. Got to be a good one for resale! What about metallic brown?
