Hello people,I am going to collect an OMP bolt in cage at the weekend and can't quite decide what colour to paint it. My shortlist is either anthracite or white but still keep getting tempted to paint it a silly colour like flouresecent (sp) yellow  Suggestions/votes please guys  ________________________________________ Chris1999 China Gti6 Supercharged  [Fun car] >>Project Thread<<2000 Bianca 306 Diesel [Work runabout] |

 i faced this for a while but ended up doing it the same colour as the car which made the bare shell respray a whole lot easier.depends on what look you want really. if you want it to be a tidy subtle car then just to it black, also black will never go out of date. whereas doing it in the latest craze (bright colours) may not be so cool in a couple of years time. or theme it with the rest of the car, is there any other colours that stand out? ________________________________________ 230 hp 2.1 16v XU 205 rallye on jenveys Project thread here309 3dr K20 Type R |

I know what you mean Ash, if I did it bright yellow, I would like it and then be annoyed with it after about a week It's black as it is, so may just leave it like that. General theme to the car with bits I have added have been black, so guess it would suit braymond wrote: are you fitting it yourself? good luck. get some pics up whilst/when its done! Will be getting the plates welded in by someone else, then was going to give it a go fitting myself. Not looking forward to it, from what I have read/heard, it will be a mission! ________________________________________ Chris1999 China Gti6 Supercharged [Fun car] >>Project Thread<<2000 Bianca 306 Diesel [Work runabout] |

Which variety of OMP cage is it? I can lend a hand if you're stuck, or want to look at my Rallye if it's the same OMP cage (there's a couple of variants) ________________________________________ I'm Si btw Night Blue VW Golf GTD Bianca LBSC Rallye - Track/Road Slag Project Thread Sparkling Silver Mini Cooper D - Super Dooper  - (The other half's wheels) |

Simon, not collecting cage until Sunday, and car still has no MOT, and broken front suspension.As soon as I receive the coilovers, will be getting it MOT'd then will take it to get the plates welded in. Will be a month or so I guess before cage goes in? ________________________________________ Chris1999 China Gti6 Supercharged [Fun car] >>Project Thread<<2000 Bianca 306 Diesel [Work runabout] |

No longer getting the cage, the guy has had an offer of £100 more than the price he asked me for, and I can't afford to match it   ________________________________________ Chris1999 China Gti6 Supercharged [Fun car] >>Project Thread<<2000 Bianca 306 Diesel [Work runabout] |
