Whilst I have been welding repair panels into the rear arches, the filler and calypso red are reminding me of something...

So expanding the idea this is my rough mock-up:

Could any photochoppers style these pics to give a better idea of how bad/ good/ awful it would look?

I'd say have a lollipop, but it is actually a Calypso. The Cabaret had one colour and decals (I had one in silver with red and black stripes). The Cabaret two had the Calypso paint scheme.

calypso is a lovely colour and it would be a shame to remove 2/3rds of it from your car :(
I think a jet black bottom half would look quite good though 8)

Spot on mate. I had a 1.6 Cabaret in White with the silver/blue graphics. Loved it - the Calypso was the poor mans version without the centre console and other bits IIRC.

I don't think the two tone paint would work on your cab though mate. That colour you have looks great just as it is. :cool:
