What colour?!

FadedOriginality · Mar 19, 2014

Hi guys, I am wanting a K11 for my first car, but i can't decide what colour. I was thinking a purple or dark blue. I have found a silver one but im unsure about it :/

Opinions?!

davyboy · Mar 19, 2014

Your post shows how undecided you are LOL. You'll know the car when you see it. Browse ebay, there's hundreds on there, all colours- take your pick.

Enuo · Mar 19, 2014

Buy on condition only, buying on basis of colour will see you crying come MOT time...

FadedOriginality · Mar 19, 2014

I obviously know that, seeing as im training to be a mechanic. But I obviously want a nice colour too.

Enuo · Mar 19, 2014

Yes, obvious because we all are psychic

FadedOriginality · Mar 19, 2014

Dropped myself in that.

McMicra · Mar 19, 2014

Cant go wrong with Silver

Magpie42 · Mar 20, 2014

Why choose between blue and purple when you can have Blurple™!

Enuo · Mar 20, 2014

Find a silver preface with pov spec bumpers. The pinnacle of K11's imo.

Meh.

Has to be Flame Red, let's be honest.

cgten · Mar 20, 2014

Nissan wouldn't have given it such an ambitious name if it wasn't amazing.

POV spec bumpers ? piccy if possible please.

cgten · Mar 20, 2014

Basically just black plastic bumpers right?

Low Rider · Mar 20, 2014

If youre into blues, BV4 intense blue is rather nice.

McMicra · Mar 20, 2014

its funny because according to the paint system I use at work @stuartwood89 AJ4 is active red not flame red :L

eugh AJ4 I spend most of my free time trying to keep it red :/

Magpie42 · Mar 20, 2014

I looked up my paint colour and it came up as Awesome.

Heavy rain here at the moment - looks like she'll be clean in the morning

MicraPRO · Mar 20, 2014

Cinnebar red personally

Jen319 · Mar 21, 2014

Personally, if I ever got a K11 again, I'd go with that lovely apple green (usually seen on "Si" models)

God forbid it be clean eh?....

cgten · Mar 22, 2014

I do love the green Si. Always seem to be a bit too far away from me though, otherwise I'd be after those wheels.

They told me I could have the engine out of that for £50....but do I really fancy going to Colchester? Not really...

£50? That's a pretty good price.

Yeah, it is...if I lived nearby...but I have to factor in either collection and delivery or hiring a van (because I doubt it'll fit in the back of a Micra or a Civic)...which makes it about £100...

cgten · Mar 22, 2014

It's on the other side of the country from where I am. Nobody in Gloucester ever bought Si's cause I never see any around. Guess we're all too cheap over here.

Magpie42 · Mar 22, 2014

...or drunk on scrumpy, yeah?

The word Scrumpy brings back so many harsh memories.

I never drank any, but a mate did and I think it had gone off cause he ended up painting a swastika on his chest and running away crying. Police found him trying to jump off a bridge. He was fine next day though, guess it hits some people harder than others lol.

Pfft, lightweight ..

cgten · Mar 22, 2014

I know, right?

FadedOriginality · Mar 23, 2014

It is definitely going to be a preface. First choice will be Purple or dark blue

Wouldn't mind a white/dark green one but it's finding one locally

Thanks for the feedback though

I don't know, sometimes I do prefer the preface front-end.

...you can always change the bumper, bonnet and headlights and fit a little grille (the wings are the same, aren't they?)

cgten · Mar 23, 2014

Nope, wings are different due to the shape of the headlights.

Lot of work, easier to fit facelift interior to a preface

I live in Nottinghamshire area
