Hi all

I have a spare wedge chassis knocking about, and Hayley is getting to breaking point with it.

So, Im going to have it blasted, repaired and powder coated so that it dosent look so bad in the garden, with a view to doing an exchange chassis over a weekend period as and when I get a wedge in that needs it.

But

What colour should I do it? what would be most appealing if it was YOURE car?

Ive got all of the standard black, grey, white, etc etc, but Ive also got some pretty good bronze, titanium, yellow.... well, you name it kinda thing!

Here is a photo of the gold fleck I had put into my Taimar chassis.








Your thoughts?

I guess it would depend on the colour of the car

For my silver wedge I'd like to go with a bright red chassis with contrasting black suspension etc

Fancy another 2+2 to put it under stu?

There is another thread running on one that needs a resto and a gearbox doing, The pistonheads ad may disappear soon as the owner has realised she has under valued it lol, but she is definitely interested in selling it.

Ok, seen it now.

Wouldnt be any good as its a 280 and my chassis is a V8 'A' frame rear suspension one... unless you changed it to and 'A' frame set up!

Silver car yellow chassis. Red car white chassis. Blue car black chassis in my opinion.

This is what I've done for my dark blue 350i




First I was going for red then yellow then black and in the end went for silver

I like white; unless the body is white, then maybe red.
