Yikes! People do go for some unusual colours don't they, yellow was talked about last month and now orange.

[Boba Fett]

Well yes that's orange, that car has been well and truly Tango'd, it's not very original but all depends on what you are looking for. Personally I think it's alright, apart from those wheels, they are step to far.

Well I thought this would have the blue interior hate club out on the streets! A black interior would surely make it the essence of the 80s, though. I can't help thinking either this is a 1500quid paint job on a nail, or the paint job is er, not very good...

Ps I love it to bits. And its a sunroof! Smitten

Ha - great minds.....that's exactly what I thought. Then you'd have the colour scheme of my Elise, except Lotus call it Lava Orange not Tango!

I spoke to the dealer who was honest enough to admit its not a great re-spray and you dont have to look too hard to find traces of its original Light Blue Metallic colour. I wonder if there is something special under the bonnet that the dealer doesn't know about, that possessed the previous owner to put TRD badges on the boot.

Yeah, a TRD oil cap ;)

I suddenly have a craving for a bowl of orange sherbert. :-)

Definitely needs a black interior. Would look half decent with one. But I wonder what you see when you open up the various hoods (blue?).

[cchrysos]

It will surely be blue under the lids! Look at picture 12, even the top of the a pillar has not be painted in the door shut area....it's blue at the top and orange below.

I actually think the orange has potential...looks better than the many yellow ones I have seen IMO.

Done properly, it could look good

Didn't notice that spot of blue. Yes, I certainly would expect the lid undersides to be blue, as these areas are rarely done when converting colors, which make them look all the worse when contrasting colors are used. But as you say. it has potential, if someone would just make up for the previous owner's shortcuts. I've certainly seen a lot worse. The orange wheels aren't even terrible, but would definitely look much better in black. Here in the US there are so many of these cars that they have been abused in numerous ways, lol. When I shopped for a replacement MKI earlier this year I found far more than I had expected that had been customized in more ways than I could have imagined. :-(

The garage claim they are in the Potteries, appropriate for clay coloured car.
