The body kit is a personal taste thing. For me, I think it makes the car just a little more interesting. I'm doing the MK3 on mine and I would sure love to know how yours looks in that Chrome Orange with the kit. I plan on doing mine all white, but that orange has me thinking... I sure like that!

I have only found a few pictures of these cars with the MK3 kit, I would like to see more.

That is a very cool orange, and a good choice, but it would need some nice rims.
It reminds me of all the mopars from the early seventies.
I think it was the HEMI burnt orange.
Their light green I think was called sub-lime?
And their purple was the plum crazy?

Owning an English car is like looking after a small child. They require constant attention, leak everywhere and as soon as your back is turned your wallet gets flushed down the toilet.

Not sure about orange but the pro's on TV car shows use white primer for red's to make the colour pop (candy apples etc.) Might work for oranges as well.

[Orange Rag]

Mine is orange or Vermillion as Triumph called it in 1980.
Got a lot of positive comments on it at the Portland show, it was the only one there. In the pictures it looks red, but it is really orange no question about it.

The TR we have is a yellow with a metallic fleck through it.
Looks good in the sun. It's the GMH color of the late model monaros (pontiacs in the US?)
Is still not finished [V]
