Despite the surface look, this is a very nice and very solid car. Plenty of new parts, the bloke spent £7k with Prima Racing getting it all 100%,Unfortunately never got around to get it painted. The engine sounds fantastic no piston slap and no rattles, oil pressure 100%. NO rust the sills are dead straight with no splits from rust finding its way out. New subframe with new wishbones. Everything works, except the abs surprise, surprise. Will start new thread on projects and restoration.

Yes, it will have a colour change, any suggestions on colours?

Well done Phil, it will be a nice car when finished with a new paint job!!! What is the plan with it? Paint it and sell, or sell the black one, or keep them both? How much did it go for in the end.

Whatever colour you go for, don't paint it black.
They're just so common in black :lol: :lol: :lol:


The thread discussing 'what colour' on Tonys GTA was interesting.
It does look nice in the BlueBlack but that Morrocan Red does look rather nice as well and would suit an A610

Gun metal grey would look cool, give it a modern look.

Yellow for me- it suits the age of the car- early 90's...mind you its partially black so you could go right on trend and have it painted matt black....

Nah all boring colours, you need to think out of the box Don Dini. How about bright Orange with big bad ass blingy rimz, then put a crap body kit on it and some shite rear lights?

Oh hang on someone has beaten you to it :roll:

Well done Dini. You must be mad but fair do's to ya!!

I think there are parts of that orange car that are very impressive. The bodykit and rear lights probably don't do it any favours but there is obviously a lot of bespoke work gone into that. Anyway, here is a standard looking Lamborghini orange A610.

And maybe some other options. I would LOVE a glacier white A610.

Hmm that green looks distinctive....as you have one std car why not go for a proper evolution look in a " distinctive" colour then...lambo orange, mushy pea green or allegro purple?

I think the orange really looks good, as mentioned the lighter colours seem to highlight the lines for some reason or other

If it is orange, then what about the McLaren Volcano Orange?

I personally dont think that the 610 is lary enough in its standard guise to pull off a lary colour.

If it was fitted with a Lemans kit don dini. With great big mahoosive splits it may very well carry it off :wink:

With the standard car i'd personally stick to a quality colour

Keep it classy :wink:
