might be pushing it

[Reebmit 51 4 Cars]

As said above what a sensible decision, such piece of mind and the finish should be great especially if that is what you are striving for. You won't be chasing rust every 6 months! And probably far cheaper in the long run

[Juttie205 123 2 Cars]

Plan was allways have one of the best dimmas this gives it a good base

[johniban 59 1 Cars]

i thought many of times about reshelling mine and i still do now, but its hard to find a shell that is rust free, your very lucky! and a great opportunity to get a dimma back on the road

[Juttie205 123 2 Cars]

Got the steering rack and anti-roll bar brackets from the vapour blasters just need to sort the new bearings for the rack out then can build up subframe ready to be bolted onto new shell.

 

 

[Juttie205 123 2 Cars]

dilemma I have now is what colour to do the car do I keep red or have found nice blue from another manufacture or good old Peugeot graphite grey or Sorrento always like these two colours

[johniban 59 1 Cars]

id keep it red

[allye 530 3 Cars]

Graphite Dimma would look stunning, t16 eat your heart out.

[speno 239 2 Cars]

Not blue

but what blue you think i thought about the BMW blue is it estoril ?

or audi rs blue is it sepang ?

but i think mine will go back to Miami blue

[Juttie205 123 2 Cars]

Has to be t16 grey.

[jackherer 543]

Graphite grey with early style lights or Cherry red with late style lights.

[Juttie205 123 2 Cars]

well I have all brand new early lights and am swaying for grey at the moment

[dcc 855]

Graphite Grey looks perfect, on any style of 205

[speno 239 2 Cars]

Grey is nice , I think that would be my choice

[Juttie205 123 2 Cars]

I know I was always on about keeping it original but I feel now the shell has been replaced that's not so important anymore.

[speno 239 2 Cars]

well without sounding a patronising dik , i would have done mine grey if I re-shelled mine but seen as its original i better keep it blue

I think you should spray it the colour you like ( and i know you dont like red too much )

[Juttie205 123 2 Cars]

looking at the moment its going graphite grey need to try and source some raised red trim for front and rear bumpers.

[mrfirepro 127 1 Cars]

I think the grey looks great from any angle, in any light and seems to have a much greater depth, that you just don't get with the red.

 

My next one will be Grey..

[Juttie205 123 2 Cars]

I feel red looks great on a standard 205 but does nothing to the dimma kit

[Juttie205 123 2 Cars]

Is T16 grey the same as graphite grey or is it lighter more like steel?

[kyepan 291]

there is a really lovely black one on here already, so perhaps not black, grey sounds nice, but then there are questions about trim colour etc.

Another good day for the project got the call from dimma that wheels are all refurbed so should have them by end of week and picked first batch of parts from platers all looking good there are a few bolts that didn't come up too well but will just replace the worse ones.

seems a shame that half of that will be put on the car where it wont be seen!
