hi,just been watching the new 2008 r32 in white,which looks smart as fek,then the gf says she would like our r32 sprayed(mk4) which i thought would look smart,but expensive.Was just wondering how many of you's out there would spray the R to make her stand out even more or do you think the colour makes the car,i think i know the answer of you guys with the DBP.

I wouldnt,it would cost to much

If I had the money I would spray mine candy white!

A local garage do resprays for around £1200 which is pretty cheap I think, but I wouldn't consider painting it white, the fad will die soon and white cars will be reserved only for cabs again.

And imo £1200 is a bit cheap for the standard you'd be after for an R32 !!

More like 2500 if u wanted it done very well with the same thickness as is on the R32;s now ....

Thats what i've been told by someone who's done Mkiv's Quite a bit...

it is a lot of money. but if its your pride and joy and you will have the car for many years and you think it will look good and can afford it then go for it.

those pictures of the white car look brilliant!!

If I ever did decide on a respray, not that i'm thinking that way because I love my silve .:R, would maybe consider DBP but would have to think about it for a very long time.

i considered it, and very nearly went for it. but, it would have meant taking the entire engine and drivetrain out, and all the interior and glass etc. It was just too much of a job. however i will do it in the future.

Hi, I would personally go for a full respray when done properly as Wayne has mentioned....glass out engine out...the lot. The only thing I wouldn't do is a full colour change from the original, it just doesn't seem right for some reason?

That looks far better than I imagined a CW Mkiv. (although trying a bit to hard to be an Audi)

PS: That Mk-iv is screaming for a brake upgrade!

Very nice, but I couldn't live with the cleaning maintainance - must be even worse than black.

I would love a white S4/RS4 though - with dark wheels as above.
