My future project - VXR dream

[Younge]

I came up with this idea a few years ago before i moved to Australia but never got around to doing it due to money issues.
Now i've got a bit of cash to mess around with i would like to share with you what my plans are.

I'm going to buy a VXR in a common colour, something like black or silver (Not arben blue because its to gorgeous as it is)
The first thing i'm going to do is the following.


or

The colour i'm looking to get is something like the seat .

I've always wanted to be a little different and i hope i can follow this through this time. I'm currently on the look out for a VXR in Brisbane area.

If you hear of anyone selling one please do get in touch. i'm going to be really picky on which vxr so it could take a while!

Also, does anyone know any decent body shops?

Unless you don't plan on selling the car, I wouldn't recommend respraying a car a different colour!

[Younge]

Why is that? i'm sure someone will want to buy it once i'm bored in a few years time

Thats some dream....

As said be prepaired to hang on to it because its not the most sort after colour

My brother had a VXR when i was younger, i've always wanted one and thought hard about what i would do, i know the colour would notmake it easy to sell on, but i hope i keep the car for many years to come.
If i did have trouble selling her, i could just re paint her to the orignal colour.

I've always wanted to stand out from the crowd and have something different, i guess some people will like it, others will hate it! can't please everyone.

You'll get a much lower price for it when you sell, and it will cost a fortune for a proper colour change.

plus, I wouldn't buy a car that's been resprayed.. buyers asked why has it been resprayed..

Maybe buy a black one and then vinyl wrap it in yellow.. keep the side strips and roof black.

That's such a good shout! i love your thinking!
how much does wrapping cost? less or more than spraying?

[guy 27]

cheaper than spraying.

It's like a prostitute's fee structure, she'll charge you much less if your wrap it compared to spraying it.

So thats settled than, i'll wrap it!
does anyone know roughly how much it will cost?
i'm guessing the wrapping can be undone after a few years?
