After finding a crack in my old one in welding up another one which will be powdercoated, I'm thinking of blue, the sort of blue med have on there engine not baby blue but not dark like a pastel colour. But can't picture whether itl be tacky or nice looking, brackets and breaters etc ate all gunmetal engines red with as many mostly new bit all over, an if there not new there refurbed. So will it look tacky or not?

Well can\\\'t use enter on an iPhone so a poll I out of the question lol.1 Votes 1 Votes - 0%

Blue does look well tidy on a subframe.

I agree, black is the only colour for sbframes. Any other colour just draws attention to them, and they are not pretty.

Unless its a religious subframe black, if it is holey then silver or black, not a fan of coloured subbys as they get dirty quick and looks abit tacky

Drives
-Ford S-max Mk2 Ecoboost
-Rover 100 VVC #2 - track project

Searching is all you need on TurboMinis

My car is gunmetal grey so... Probs not the best bet. And the ancs are all grey, I see the general consensus then. :p cheers for your opinions it definitly food for thought. Don't want a tack mobile. I do like the subby in the top link however but it not quite as standard as mine.
