How to make a Tonga Green Disco look cool (at least good)
Hi
soon there will be our second D3 in our garage, a "pre-loved" TDV6 HSE with extras over the HSE specs.
It has everything i wanted as far as specs, mileage, price, service and so on, but for one thing : it's tonga green !
dont get me wrong Tonga D3 owners, the colour is fine, but i already had 2 D I in Epsom Green, 3 DII Td5 in the same colour, so another one is a bit too much.
I am found of the white and the black D3s so i was trying my luck with HSE with similar sepcs in those two colours, but let us say that the seller was "convincing"
Done Deal.
so what do you guys reckon, vinyl warp it up in a funcky colour (you G4 gang, i can already hear you ) ?
al least partly warp it up ?
camouflage it ? the digital camo style, not the straight army one
Idealy i'd love a clear coat of mat vernish, I have see some at autoshow, thus making the disco almost army flat green, but it is a permanent finish, unlike vinyl wrap.
I can play with it at will, as I dont need to worry about the look of my car for work nor from the neighbours
take your shot my friends !
Thank you for your help l=Oo\________/oO=l l:Ool======loO:l

to give you an idea.... this is something to make it unique and it should look very good if you choose the second interior color for "zebra look"....

Thanks Frenchy,
Its a Saris "Grande Campioni".
Very handy for huge shopping, when you have all 7 seats occupied or for transporting kayaks.
I will modify the top a bit to transport 6 or 8 kayaks (now only 3).
Shame that the speed is limited to 80km/hSome people get by

Instead of a zebra, for a tonga green, you could find inspration in this animal :
