I have been thinking of changing from euro yellow for a while. Not really set on anything but was seriously thinking of something along the lines of this.

United Gray or some kind of gray. Anyone have any comments or other colors I should think about? Also is there any gray a little darker then that, that would look nice?

As the owner of a Satin Silver EP, I have to say that grey and Silver are the most common colours on the road, dark grey not so much.. I'd try for something different (like Euro Yellow) such as light blue, plum, or even green, dark green, which is a beautiful colour and fits the EP3.

I feel like cosmic grey is to light of a grey.

And I still do love my euro yellow, but I'm kinda in a predicament right now. The front and back bumpers were repainted bc of what happened.

As you can tell, the paint doesnt really match...they said they couldnt make it match because the old paint it so faded. I'm going back and if they won't do something about it, I was thinking of maybe a color a little less stand-out.

cosmic Grey is the sexiest car of an EP. IMO then it's RED.

Now I'm probably going to get flamed to hell for this, but would grey look ok with euro yellow? :) Because isn't it a lot more money to get the engine bay and door jams painted? I thought grey with a hint of euro here and there wouldnt look to bad. Opinions?

You could get by without painting the engine bay if you are not going to show it, but you have to paint the door jams it just looks cheap

Yeah, I could do that.

And shush! No problems will be encountered, don't jinx it. The only reason I'd repaint it is if the insurance company is covering half of it and the shop will let me pay the rest to change the color.

I'm really liking that VW color. It's calm, but still different in the ep community.

If you like the VW color go for it. If you are going to have the car repainted to something that you cant just buy make it your own

now where have you seen a functional carbon fiber roof for an ep3? :shrug: it'd be awesome to rip that skin off to rivet and epoxy a carbon fiber piece in place of it:yeahbaby:

bdooley is right though...economy sucks--with the money needed to paint a car right i would save it for rainy days to come:thumbu:

Roof hatch, not roof. He means to replace the moonroof glass with carbon fibre and match that to a carbon fibre spoiler. I've seen that done on a tricked-out PT Cruiser.
