FD22's Orange Hatch

[FD22]

If you could dip your car again: would you? And what colour would you do?

This specific car, in a North American setting, being a daily, and owned by someone with mild OCD? Probably not. If either of those things were different, then possibly.

As for coloUr.....orange. Always orange.

after you peel it, you should paint your car orange , then we can match

Wish I was ballin, and then could just get the entire car painted in a custom orange that I want. But days of trying to put money/effort into any aesthetics on this car are long past now lol

Wish I was ballin

I wish I was little bit taller,
I wish I was a baller
I wish I had a car that looked good
I would mod her
I wish I had a rabbit in a hat with a bat...

You wish you had a manual.

I feel like I'm missing the reference here. But all those things are definitely true.

I wish I had another manual lol mine's clunkier than a Mazda3 with blow struts and wheel bearings.

Edit: He also references hating driving his hatchback and is wearing a Michigan jersey

Recent picture from a car meet I attended here in Michigan. Personally surprised someone actually bothered taking a picture of it

Edit: although admittedly does look decent with his editing/lighting conditions/etc


And yes, that other car is also dipped.

Things have been quite hectic for me lately (and not in a good way). So that busyness plus my general bitterness with the car has resulted in it being quite neglected this season so far. But now with Summer almost over, finally managed to make some time to start on my Spring plans..

[S.F.W.]

no more peach ? I might not recognize the car.

If the wheels were a different color, then you really wouldn't be able to make out from the rest of the crowd

That picture is awesome. Is it all off now or are you leaving a trail of peach behind you wherever you go?

Thanks. Waited a long time to stage such a thing, and I'm pretty happy with how it turned out lol

And no, still not done peeling.

[Reddie1337]

Are some of the pieces not the original colour still?

Correct. Not enough spare time on my hands to do it all at once. So kinda just doing it as and how I get time.

Lol you know, it actually is quite satisfying to do it. Figuratively and literally.

Need flares

Need flares

Don't tempt me lol I have a bad feeling that statement will be even more true once I peel the rear quarters..

Won't be much metal to cut out on the rear anyways. Do it.

Well if I do end up doing it, you're the guy I'll be coming to for help and advice, so you better be careful how far you push me haha
