As above lads and ladies I have owned my EJ9 for nearly 2 years and planning on doing a big overhaul on it which includes stripping it to the bare shell and put a B16B In to it. While I will have it as a bare shell in a couple of weeks I want opinions if I should keep it the original Colour or respray it Brilliant Audi red. Here is a few pics as it looks now ? really need opinions of the matter and would it be worth it ? Thanks

Thanks In Advance :)
 
I would keep the grey but maybe get a carbon bonnet for it instead of the black :nice:
 
I'd say save your money, and perfect it with this colour because its a very nice colour! Maybe OEM lip instead of the rep, and colour code it along with the hood + side mouldings.
 
I'm a fan of the current grey colour. I'd just get the bonnet sprayed.

The bonnet was sprayed like that when I got it orignal plans were to respray the car all one colour :)

I would give it a respray in same colour, Ive always wanted mine this colour :) If not go for something different, not a normal Honda colour :nice:
 
Nice colour to pick, but hope youl be keeping ur ej9 for a long time cause ur never gona get ur money back but you probaly already know this.
 
Its your car, so paint it whatever colour you like. Be careful with a respray job however, as there is nothing worse than a poor quality respray and to get it done well can be costly.

My own opinion on it would be to go and buy a clean EK9, as it would work out cheaper in the long run. But each to their own.
 
Thanks For the comments lads..... Have decided to keep it the original colour as you wouldn't see a lot of hondas in this colour, Just ordered a Genuine facelift bumper + EK9 Lip from Donnellys Honda In northern Ireland which were a bit costly but its worth it to know you have genuine honda parts on your car than that spurious sh*te. Car is currently getting striped and prep'd for the new respray. Every thing is getting colour coded. Will be starting my build thread when I get the time but hopefully it will be soon :)
