well as some of you know ive got a silver 1.4 corsa lowered on speedlones depos etc etc... great wee car but ive never been happy with it due to being silver like my old corsa. only difference on that were it had softstars instead of speedlines... so i was going sell the currant one for a brocade yellow one (always wanted on in that colour)
but mines really clean just needs a few bits sorted bodywork wise, ie dents etc its really solid underneath aswell and just sailed its mot
so i was thinking id be better off keeping mine knowing its good, collect a few parts and bobs then respray it in brocade yellow....
whats everyones views? sell up and buy another or keep mine as i know its good???

Sell it any buy a Brocade 1. Unless you could get it resprayed for next to nothing, then it would be a waste of money imo.
Unless yours was proper mint with alot of money in it (which it isn't going off your description) then its pretty pointless.

Absolutely no point painting a car a colour that it can already be bought in. Sell yours and buy another.

yeah i know a few painters, even if i were to keep it silver it would need a few bits tidying up and painted anyway (should have mentioned that it in the 1st post tbh) just thinking whilst im at it change the colour aswell

A complete colour change is a big big job. Engine out. Interior out. All for a 1000 pound car. Not worth it

Painting a colour change is a big job and it'll also make resale more difficult, easier to buy one the colour that you want.
