A bin lorry recently hit my VW type 3 fasty and bent a rear wing The upshot however is the car is getting a full resto and respray which you can follow the progress of here if you want; www.vwscotclub.co.uk/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4502I have been thinking about grey sides after a club member photoshopped a picture of the car a while ago but cant quite decide. What do you guys think? Leave green; Green with grey sides; Grey sides with green stripes; Cheers Dave. P.S. Please feel free to post retro's with side stripes for inspiration.

why not paint it like some tw@t did my old type 4. its really well done and suits the lines of the car and would certainly get you noticed. seriously all green for me.

i don't like green much so grey sides for me. the one with stripes is cool, maybe black(or orange) and green combo though? middle stripe and lettering black(or orange) with green above and below and a black(or orange) pinstripe round the grey area?

All green for me, stripes and stuff IMO are hard to pull off.
I would go for either a bright kawazaki type green or karki, for my two pence!

stripes but no side colouring, type 3s pretty well never look good in 2 tone, the body just wasnt shaped for it.

I dunno.. if I was getting it fully resto'd & resprayed I'd probably go for a deeper darker green.. (brg ??) on the lower part.. and a nice shade of cream for the top... no PS at work.. and frankly I suck at it anyway...

Grey sides with green stripes works for me, didn't think it would but the PS looks really good!Are you getting compensation for the damage?

Full re-spray is covered by the other parties insurance so all is good.
