Im gonna get my turbines refurbed properly now by Fred i think but undecided as to what colour.

I have a 449 Valver which is soon to have a re-spray hopefully but thats for a different thread.

Anyway colours are:

White
Matt Black
Standard

all with a polished lip or not

any other sugestions welcome

They look mint dan, but i want the standard look, gonna lose the 2.0ltr badges too and stick 16v or RT badges there instead.
Am gonna spray the plastics matt black too and maybe a respray in 449 to freshen her up a bit.

So its either standard with a polished lip or white.
I just think white will be too much conrast between light and dark if you get me.

Yeah they were polished Dan by previous owner. Bit chavish now imho, will be mistaken for chromes and we cannot have that.

Have decided to either respray it Imperial Blue (Esc Cos) or standard 449 with standard turbines and slammed on coilovers with all the plastics resprayed matt black :D

I wanna get a MSW supersprint straight through system too :P
