After deciding that the standard interior looked too dull, I decided to paint some console trim parts up, although I used vauxhall burgundy, as it was cheaper than getting hyundai burgundy specially mixed up, and it won't be a direct colour match anyway. Also got a better pic of my red interior light.

oh paul cant you tell the difference? eggcatchers is the far superior gen.dont you have any museums in ireland to help you tell the difference........
(poll opens soon-how long til eggcatcher gets a gen3)
im amazed he got the colour to match so well.it looks slightly different in photos but in the flesh its very close

 

[eggcatcher]

Colour match? Its vauxhall (sorry about the language) burgundy. Had gone around carparks parking next to burgundy cars from other manufacturers and vauxhall was closest. And honestly with the interior you can get away with minor shade differences.
And don't bother with the poll, got no plans on a Gen3 yet, providing it doesn't get too rusty I'm keeping as long as possible, may even drop a V6 into it if the engine dies.

 

[thedupleman]

you'll be lucky.we've already accertained they dont fit(shame)
are you being one of those sad people who pinches stuff off cars and takes it for a colour match at b and q lol

 

[eggcatcher]

Nope, just found out what burgundys halfords stocked, (getting it mixed would cost 2wice as much and probably be a worse match) then compared my options.

 

[thedupleman]

nicola wants the lounge painting orange,can we have some beard shavings for a match pls.

i think you did really well to get it to match that well tbh.well done(dont go getting big headed though)

 

[Labrat of Larbert]

Instead of doing a poll, why doesn't LiDL just run a sweepstake?
That way he may be able to buy himstelf a litre or two of premium unleaded.

 

[thedupleman]

iv never known anyone be so consistantly short of petrol.........and iv never known anyone go so far on an orange light..................

They make the whole car glow red, Donna got blue in the Puma, but thats because she was able to get Blue LED bulbs to fit, the Gen1 is an odd size bulb, and I couldn't find any LED one that fit, so did that instead. Also used same brake light tape to give a red tint to my T-badges.

you'll be lucky.we've already accertained they dont fit(shame)

They will fit where the back seats used to be, driving the back axle! Now thats a project for me, may take some time though, will have to remove car from the road for a while. Then I'd need another Gen1 as a daily drive.

 

[paul896]

hahaha nice! a twin engined gen1!!!!hahaha imagine! i saw a twin engined car on tv be4, had two semi auto gearboxes, onre for the front one for the rear, and u could change ratios in them seperately!lol

 

[eggcatcher]

Not twin engined, a just 1 V6 in the back. Thats a nice plan that'll just be too much for me to pull off.
