stuart 31 3 Cars Posted October 26, 2011 (edited) No probs That reminds me, really need to give it a wash! It's actually brown at the moment Edited October 26, 2011 by stuart Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Daviewonder 533 3 Cars Posted October 26, 2011 I didn't like black 205s until now Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Para 82 2 Cars Posted October 26, 2011 Awesome ! I'm hesitating should I respray original black or go for a different colour. But this 205 looks stunning ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MadCommuter 2 Posted October 26, 2011 I always forget how sharp that a factory fresh 205 looks. Stuart, that looks amazing - keep it clean!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SurGie 54 Posted October 26, 2011 I like that one Iv never been keen on the arch's not standing out as much with a black car though unlike the grey colours. Hard to keep clean and looking good as well, to keep that look then washing it like the pro's will help keep it fresh, minimal swirls etc. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stuart 31 3 Cars Posted October 26, 2011 Thanks for the comments guys! Might put some pics up tomorrow of how it looks at the moment, don't think the comments will be as positive then! Nothing a quick wash won't will sort Yeah it is a pain to keep clean, especially as I live down a dirt road. I use it daily though so try not to worry about it too much.

MiniGibbo 142 Posted October 27, 2011 (edited) Black looks nice but as said dosent show the shape off and almost hides the arches.. Edited October 27, 2011 by MiniGibbo Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Para 82 2 Cars Posted October 27, 2011 This is what I am aming for instead of black. M1TA - Magnum Gray Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Anthony 1,002 Posted October 27, 2011 The grey does look nice, but in my opinion if you're going to change the colour you either need to do the job properly (ie a full bare shell respray) or not at all - to me, nothing looks worse and says cheap half-a***d job than a resprayed car where you can see the original colour in the engine bay, in the doorshuts, and in the interior. The black does look very good freshly painted and gleeming though, and I'm sorely tempted to get mine blown over when it's built and on the road seeing as the roof needs paint anyway where it's beginning to suffer from the usual Phase 2 lacquer problem.

Para 82 2 Cars Posted February 15, 2012 Couple of months passed and I've decided it I will keep the car black. If you have any more pics of freshly resprayed black GTI please post some. I need some inspiration Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NFS 32 Posted March 22, 2012 The black looks like a real nice job. How much did you pay if you don't mind me asking? Also that magnum grey looks epic! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
