Looking good, what colour? It's hard to tell with the light on it, or is that all part of the tease

Standard Imperial Blue. But shiny for a change

[rigga]

Nothing standard about imperial blue, there's at least 4 variations of the mix that I know of.

As long as its dark and matches this....

Looks good, Imperial Blue has always been a favourite of mine, especially on a Escort Cosworth

Did you decide what you're doing with the new wheels?

I plumped for the Anthracite ones as they were on the shelf and i didnt want to be held up any further.Think it will give a meaner look also

Nice

So how long do you have to wait until you get her back and you can show us all the finished product?

Friday!
Been sent another set of pics today.

Bezel-less Lupos looking good i think

[Rib]

Looks good I reckon, just cleans the lines up a bit but it's something that so many people would look at the car and not notice it unless they knew.

[Chuffmeister]

Looks really nice! How much?

A lot.
The insurance paid for over half the total cost.
I stumped up to have a full respray as opposed to half of one (whatever that is) and added the Lupos as an extra.
Wasnt cheap but the work looks top class upto now. Give Surface and Design a ring for a quote.

[Alun450]

That's the bizzo, mega, awesome, proper classy.

[caduceus]

I really do like that look of the bezelless lupos! Possibly the best look for the front of a Chimaera I recon.

Hi, do you know what the paint code of your Imperial blue is?

Also, do you know if they used water or solvent based paint?

Thanks

Codes for Imperial Blue.
TVR code R2744
PPG code PPG012
ICI code P422-5WN3B

But always test that your car matches

All the paint used by S&D is Water based, I think it has to be by law now.....?

Mine says R2744. So why am I struggling to find a garage that can match it! I might give S&D a call.

Thanks for the codes.

Have to agree. Never been sure about the other type of Lupos but these without the bezel look great

Com' on Derek, give us a clue How much was just the Lupo conversion?
