Rusty Red

Recommended Posts

I'm thinking the rust thing will work awesome with either a) really bright rims , or B) really shiny dished rims. But I'll explore that soon enough.

Mmmmmm I like +1

I see where you're coming from Andy, and IMO its more the colour. Not the age. The Fire engine red is a bit bright as is for the rust, it needs less rust or more contrast. Pics below to support my reasoning.

Heres a E46 with a rust bonnet and I think it wins:

And then here's Jasons old E36 with the same bonnet, and it works REALLY well.

You know what I think Peter. B)

It looked so cool in my rear view mirror on Sunday. Seriously. Its a shame I didn't have a proper camera to take a few snaps.

I got a few from behind with my phone which look pretty cool, I'll post them on FB.

Haha, yeah my mate that was driving was all "Will that Nick guy race me? I'm going to stay in front just in case!"

I lol'd. Hes a real Nana driver which is why I let him drive the car while I'm waiting on my licence back, of course only when I'm in it.
