Stand out dude be different. Unless your going full restore l say different. I went a silver colour and is amazing

No Panda.

panda is rarely done right. trying to explain the details to a painter that is not into 86's themselves would be a nightmare. so i say dont go panda.

ok so what do you recomend black bars or full colour cars im torn between looks ATM

 

[Mirko]

I have gone dark silver with black sideskirts and bumpers

Don't do panda or white, every man and his dog does the same and to be honest I don't even think it's the best looking factory colour scheme. The light blue metallic on the ADM's is the best by far for me.

This, so many people don't realise it's actually the side moulds that make the panda pattern.

Panda red is always a classic if you want to pay someone to put in the hard work and get it right, otherwise white or silver /w black bars
