Car was a beautiful shade of blue, it is now down to bare metal all paint has been sandblasted off, both inside and out!!.
Its getting: GT flares, some rust repair, custom rocker panels, custom front spoiler, custom rear valence, and body stiffening kit....all steel. Not to mention she's gettin a new euro 993 3.6, a close ratio 915, 930 wheels, Brembo brakes (maybe) and misc. upgrades etc. The car has been apart 8 weeks now and will start going back together in about 3-4 weeks. I have always loved and had silver cars, my first 914 was silver, my wifes car is silver, my truck is silver, my Hog is silver. What do you guys think? color change would you do it? |

Yes I would do it - In fact I did it. Went from white to signal orange because for years when i thought of 914s I always remembered the signal orange ones. -Now I got one!
A color change should not be an issue as long as it is done correctly. And it sounds like your going about it as thoroughly as one can. Considering the other changes that are made, I don't understand the reluctance by some to do a color change. What is special about the color change? We don't seem to mind putting in a non original motor, or change the color or material of the interior, or upgrade the suspension, or use other wheels, etc.... If you prefer another color, change it too. |
