After I got rear-ended around a year ago, I had the option of respraying the car a different colour to the factory silver. I would have preferred a black car (I was looking for a black car when I got mine, but this one was too good a deal to pass up) but in the end I decided it would be too dodgy to do such a fundamental colour change.

If I ever wanted to sell it, the first thing people would notice is the majorly different colour (you can never really cover it ALL up) and they would either use this to bargain thousands of bucks off the price or just walk away.

You might think you hate the colour now but it will probably grow on you if you get it. I have never owned a car that was my first choice in colour. Previously I've had brown, red, and white Toranas, all of which were colours I hated but ended up not minding after a short time. After that a white Commodore (I still don't like white) which I also ended up liking. Then a metallic green Commodore, which I never even considered getting before, but again ended up quite liking.

Then finally the silver Skyline, which was my 2nd or 3rd choice in colour after black and maybe gunmetal, but now I really like. I still like black better, but I'm compensated in not having to wash the silver nearly as often :)

    • Sorry to hear your HFM BM57 was faulty,  did you contact HFM I would hope they would be at least grateful for the information if there was some sort of manufacturing fault, you would hope they would be sympathetic even if your item was 2 years old if it had never been fitted. May I ask where it leaked from ?
    • Cats are called Bella, and Donna...  Like that poisonous plant And I remember your 2 monsters, I remember making a little bit of wee when you let them out... LOL I have already installed cat doors into the laundry where their kitty litter is, and the sun room, apart from the cat doors there's not going to be any permanent mounted stuff on the interior walls (interior doors are cheap and easy to replace) I will get a outdoor cat cage thingie once I finish the landscaping out back... https://catnip.com.au/ The only off limit areas are the main bedroom and the gym room....but, currently the cats are curled up in bed, in the main bedroom with the Mrs.....LOL, the off limits for the kittens to the main bedroom lasted about 5 minutes with Jackie I currently only have 1 free standing huge cat tree multiple level scratching post thingie in the lounge room, but, I will be getting another one soon now that I'm happy with the furniture layout in the back room and have a perfect spot for it  
    • All of this is making it seem clear that running the Coppermix twin was definitely the way to go, especially in hindsight with how insane tariffs have gotten and the strength of the USD vs yen at the time.
    • That sounds like no chance of even importing one for road registering then Now I see why Duncan wants to check LHD rules for Targa...   I wonder how "bolt in" the AWD would be if you got one imported from the US and swapped it to an AUD one
    • Not to mention they drive like a bucket of bolts! yuck!
