Eh, I still prefer the black by a long shot. [:p] Although maxrs's car looks good with the colour coded grill.

I am usually against the colour coded RS look, but there's no doubting that maxrs's car pulls it off. It's one sweet looking ride.

Update:
Im halfway through bodywork.
Hope to have bodywork fairly well complete and ready for priming next week sometime (best case scenario).
Still waiting on my replacement floorpan to arrive to weld that in.
Still hunting round for a drivers side replacement door trim (black, full vinyl with chrome work)
Oh and Shea yes I've got an XE lip for it.

Whole car (bar the nosecone) has been primed and wet rubbed, will be done again either tommorow or next week.
I've chosen the colour - 'Glacier White' which is off the new Toyota Hilux, as it's one of the cleanest whites I've found at moment so should look a whole lot brighter and cleaner than the original Sno White, well atleast thats the plan.

Should look good. I'm interested in seeing how a very crisp white will look. My Sno white RS looks like someone pee'd in snow next to my white Fiesta. I think the new pearl white from the 2006 Subaru Liberty's would look great on an RS.

Rhys,
Prob longer than that at this stage. I've been busy with work, and next week I go back to Uni.
I'll keep working away at it slowly. Hopefully not too much longer after yours.
RS207,
Thats a nice way of putting it. I've found the same with Sno White, so good chance to change for me.

Nothing great to tell. I'll have motor out tomorrow and finish welding firewall. Have had rims sand blasted and powder coated ready to go. Pic makes them look white but its 'Silver Pearl', it did come out alot lighter than paint swab showed though, pretty sure I picked a darker colour[:I] Download Attachment: RS 4dr 007.jpg 59.55 KB Also included a pic of new paint colour against the old Sno White Download Attachment:  RS 4dr 002.jpg 37.21 KB Rhys
