Jim Bell Posted May 12, 2018 Share Posted May 12, 2018 There seems to be less and less of this kind of thing these days. Are there any shitters still running a car with different coloured panels. I loved the look of C.D.C's Rover: But he painted it. And I loved the look of FOADS old R18 when it had mis-matched wings, (cant find a pic)............... but he painted it. Post some pics of the cars you've had or seen with unfashionably opposing panel hues.

Pillock Posted May 12, 2018 Share Posted May 12, 2018 Give it ten minutes before there's a picture of a Polo Harlequin. I remember in about the mid 80s, I was "watching the cars" at my grans house (her house overlooked the A610 junction at Cinderhill and I'd spent hours just watching traffic). I was so mortally offended by a car with mismatched panels I declared it should be "against the law" and people forced to paint them. Edit: Ha! I was too late!

Parky Posted May 12, 2018 Share Posted May 12, 2018 My replacement front wing is a slightly different shade of silver to the rest of the car - does that count or does it have to be a totally different colour? Jim Bell 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are contrived and pathetic. How could a child be so judgemental, cruel, oppressive AND wrong?! davocano 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'll have to take it to the judges panel (lol) for assessment. BorniteIdentity and Magnificent Rustbucket 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy F Posted May 12, 2018 Share Posted May 12, 2018 The driver's door hinge failed on my Xantia so I changed it for one from the spares car I have in a different shade of red but with added dents and gaffer tape holding the window. Just a temporary measure of course about 18 months ago. Lacquer Peel 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spottedlaurel Posted May 12, 2018 Share Posted May 12, 2018 Was running around in this in the early '00s, never did get those black doors painted: 1986 Nissan 300C 4dr (Y30) by Spottedlaurel, on Flickr And there's this one of course: 1993 Toyota Camry 2.2 Estate by Spottedlaurel, on Flickr Still like this a year-on from getting it back on the road and in regular use. Certainly won't be this year that it gets sorted. Even when I did attempt to have an odd panel painted to match it doesn't seem to have worked-out.....

Pillock Posted May 12, 2018 Share Posted May 12, 2018 Large Japanese cars with different coloured doors or boot/bonnet? No vomiting in the back, that's a £50 charge mate. And if you leg it without paying then you'll get your front door smashed in. Lacquer Peel and Jim Bell 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
