Nice, but a total resprey will cost about £2k?!?! Is it really worth it? I mean, you could do some proper work on your engine for that much.

Is that the standard Golf colour purple with extra in it?

One of my mates used to have one very similar, but that one has more metallic in it.

to me it doesnt look like a full on candy paint, it looks very much like the mulberry paint from the mk3 GTi's with a blue/purple metal flake mix in the lacquer to enhance the depth of the colour, if someone is available to paint the car then no it doesn't have to be £2k's worth. Chances are Benny will either do it himself or have a friend to do the spray work and Benny can still help out with the prep and do a lot himself to cut the costs so for a few hundred quid as a foreigner to someone it'll be a cheap job and a tidy motor :D go for it fella, very nice. Would need some euro rims, coilovers and stretched rubber to finish her off ;)

it's nice but not that nice. if you're building a show car, get a colour that genuinely pops. House of Kolor Kandy Red or Kandy Blue, the gorgeous orange as seen on the Lumma M6, etc.
