timbobalobox Posted February 24, 2023 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2023 1 hour ago, Wish said: What about a lighter metallic blue. This is a lovely colour in the flesh, but maybe something a little lighter, more silver/blue One of Iconic's customers from Belgium has just had theirs done in the classic Porsche light blue, they've also had the interior re-trimmed in tan which looks lovely!

Guest Posted February 24, 2023 Report Share Posted February 24, 2023 Ultimately it's your decision but in the interests of democracy I think we need a poll once you've narrowed it down to 5 colours 😎😎😁😁 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Excellent so providing you bought an Escort as well, you'd have a decent car! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My parents had some very cool cars when I was growing up,mk2 cortina 1600E,lots of Jaguar XJ6’s,tons of mk1 and 2 minis,mk2 xr2’s etc but they had some absolutely shocking cars too-the Austin princess stands head and shoulders above everything bad! I can remember when they were trying to flog the princess some weirdos came round to view it and disappeared for over an hour on a test drive-we were all hoping (parents included!) that they’d stolen it 😂😂 no they came back but luckily they bought it!! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adrian Reeve Posted February 26, 2023 Report Share Posted February 26, 2023 @timbobalobox, is there a build guide available? I built several kit cars before being tempted into Porsche ownership, but your build is definitely tempting me back in! Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers Nothing official I'm afraid - Iconic (who produced the body) just do a supply only, with the overwhelming majority being conversions they do in house, with the donor supplied by the customer. There's only one other guy who's done the kit themselves as far as I know. Having said that, the owner of Iconic is immensely helpful and having never done something like this myself before, it's quite straight forward. It can be very fiddly in places but it's all logical. The real skill is getting the gaps correct which was a job I left to the painters! If you were thinking about doing one I can share more images in detail 👍 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I very much like that one above that @Mattman42posted. I'm more into artwork than photoshopping but can give it a go. Here's a chocolate and purple-ish version from last year. I hadn't seen this thread before, will go back to Page 1 for a read-through. I've built a couple of cars myself, both from the bare chassis up, so this will be interesting. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
