Toucan Posted July 10, 2006 Author Share Posted July 10, 2006 Cant beat black on a Capri, although I always liked reds an oranges too but they are quite the opposite of what your thinking... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazy_rich Posted July 10, 2006 Share Posted July 10, 2006 black capri's are awesome, but 'ol JR has a black capri in ChCh and i just reckon, as a colour its a bit bogun for my liking. And lets just say, a bright orange car would not suit my personality at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mk5corty Posted July 11, 2006 Share Posted July 11, 2006 i got a thing for lime green but its one of those colours that really divides people, still i dont think most people like it but fuck it bro i compromised once and bought blue green cos mates didnt like green lucky was only a test pot cos i realised "I" WANTED LIME GREEN chur.

mikuni Posted July 11, 2006 Share Posted July 11, 2006 ^ Thats a good effort man. Is pretty mission to do things that you know others (especially mates) aren't into. I think capris look best in older style colours. Two tones etc. Remember that awesome as beige/brown and cream one that was on TM and the link got put up here. It looked so good. Plus its good to tie it back to the retro look aswell, since so much of the car is going towards a 'new' theme (engine etc). Gun metal would still be wicked tho, perhaps black with gun metal roof (what I would like to do my gem wagon in but never will) or gun metal with light grey roof..

mk5corty Posted July 11, 2006 Share Posted July 11, 2006 or gunmetal with black gloss roof or gunmetal with black gloss racing stripes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazy_rich Posted July 11, 2006 Share Posted July 11, 2006 I agree that capri's suit older block type colours, but i think a 2 tone paint job would clutter the look up too much, considering all the effort of shaving and debadging ive done it'd be a shame to spoil the lines of it, although saying that a 2 tone job (done right) could enhance the lines. hmm. toughy isnt it. 2 tone doesnt feel right to me. thats all. maybe gunmetal grey with a pink and lime green "tearing" effect up the side, mid nineties street machine style. that'd be rad.

Sparkle Posted July 11, 2006 Share Posted July 11, 2006 neither. Both would be gay as fuck. Do a nice silver with lots of clearcoat. Or a glossy as fuck black. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MACKAZ Posted December 27, 2007 Share Posted December 27, 2007 Like the fact you've used the Toymota. They gotta be one of the strongest stock 8s around now. years ago my mate had a Mk1 Capri with 4 bolt 350 in it, went like fuck in a straight line but didnt handle very well. Yours should be primo as the weight factor nowhere near that of a 350. I also know a dude who had a Mk2 with 351 windsor and c4. He used Leyland P76 struts and they seemed to work well, pretty sure he plated and re studded top of strt tower to fit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SYKOV6 Posted January 18, 2008 Share Posted January 18, 2008 go silver with a blue pearl with orange gt falcon stripes would look phat!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unclejake Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 Hey Crazy-Rich, Did your car ever live in Auckland owned by a guy named John Somethingoranother who would have owned it (and had it stolen and returned the same day) in about 1986? It looks very familiar in your first photo - but I guess a few of them got that colour/roof and those wheels EDIT: I just looked him up on Oldfriends.co and his name is John Lee and he now lives in Cantebury. It would be lols if it is the same car because I haven't seen it since 1988 and I have never even sat in it so buggered if I know why I remember it.
