Just after peoples opinions as I have a genuine dimma in red that im restoring do I keep it red or change colour just after peoples opinions as originally it was red from new.

You are going for a good finish, keep it red.

Do it white

I'd personally keep it original. Saw one recently that was originally blue but had been changed to white with Turbo 16 decals. Totally ruined it IMO

My vote is keep it original!

Original colour.

Paint it white and it'll have a tinge of pink

was the car originally red? I was under the impression that the vast majority of the Dimma 205 production run were accident damaged 205s anyway, and as such might not have been red originally?

 

I personally am a huge fan of the deep purple colour, and am going to end up flipping a coin between that and graphite when it comes to respraying mine

Don't do it blue , seen as that is what mine is

I popped down to simon's the other day , I take it he is spraying it for you ?

He is doing a Dimma at the moment . looks pretty good too . shame the owner did not address the rust issues first

yep simon is refitting and painting car.

[speno 239 2 Cars]

I thought it was you he was talking about , is your old kit beyond repair ?

[Juttie205 123 2 Cars]

Probably not beyond repair but cost effective to repair im not so sure so just bit bullet and got a new kit simon has asked me to take old kit aswell to look at. fingers crossed if work ever dies down and im not working offshore fingers crossed car will be heading there in next 3 months.

Well I was quite impressed with his work , told him he was too cheap ( may be I should have told him that after he had done mine and yours ha ha )

[Juttie205 123 2 Cars]
