I saw this over on the Cerb forum and thought wow!
And as I'm in the process of doing my chassis I thought why not?
Any thoughts on other colour combos? As my car is dark blue I obviously need something that in keeping
Also love the chassis colour

Paints good but plating is better.

yes Personally I would go for lighter colours on the chassis just to see whats going on scratchchin they dont need to be fancy colours but light grey/white or silver get my vote although for me I would go blue

Another excuse to post porography on here biggrin



On a serious note though, as much as I really like the colour idea, keep them light like Simon said. Much easier to keep a check on the condition.

Had an S3 before the Chimaera, and the chassis on that was red. Very easy to clean and inspect so red it was.

Six years on and it still looks as good!



With your car being blue how about sky blue, or a mid to light grey colour.

No I took it to a company in Derby. Clear laquered it all before refitting to prevent against any corrosion.

the bump stop is situated at the bottom of the dampner, are your dampners the other way round?

Yep.
Did you fit them yourself? and what brand are they?
