That looks superb Chris - look forward to seeing it out and about in the near future

Would you mind telling which bodyshop you're using ? If it's local, would be good to know for future reference.

Love it!

[Scotty C]

nice colour, I believe the bodyshop is one of the best. I hope you have kept the red seats and get a red roof

[ClarkyBoy]

Well done mate, good to see your car looking tip top again, and as for the colour, i love it, as scotty said, i think it will compliment the red also,

looking far better than the end of AMP3, thats for sure

At the time I felt I was gambling a bit with the bodyshop. I'd seen Gareths 340r a couple of times but never really looked up close at it, but it seemed to be the most recommended place in Dundee so I went with it.

Having been in there and spoken to the guys, especially the boss and seen some of their work I'm more than happy with them.

The red seats were a bit too original S1 for me (about as much padding as my right thumb), and of course 11 years old so were wearing a bit.

I've made a small change, sort of like the small change I made to the car

The seats are with my dad in Edinburgh at the moment, all will be revealed probably next week.

Sorry to disappoint but, they're not red - I wasn't that brave with my colour choices!

About Time Chris.

Bright Green was on my short list when I was Re Building the S1, looks great

Keep the pictures coming

[StiflerMR2]

Nice choice of colour Chris, I'll be sure to look out for it in Dundee...not that it'll be hard to miss mind you

[Deany1986]

Love the colour of the car, so much nicer than the silver

[Ferg]

Well, you're gonna stand out for sure!

Great colour, must look almost iridescent in the flesh!

[Andy D]

That looks brilliant

Now I'm seriously considering going back to an S1 and making it unique....

[haggis catcher]

VERY VERY nice. I love the colour. I have a new unused green roof that would match that perfect.

i would consider clear indicators and a green accent on the wheel -

Nice job mate!

The silver wasn't really doing it for me and it was getting a bit rough around the edges.
Glad you approve, and that you're not posting "what have do done to my old car" type post. I remember feeling a bit sad when I saw one of Erica's old mx5s and it was bashed, not sure how i'd feel if I saw a transformation like this

I considered clear indicators, but actually quite like the way the orange / green contrast so even bought a pair of new repeater lenses specifically in orange. I may change my mine once it's all back together mind. I also considered getting some green on the wheels, but thought it might be a bit much.

/shudder....

That's deffo taking it too far. Like the choice of colour though Chris. Actually having similar thoughts about Shugmobile sometime in the future.
