So time for a proper write up.
Earlier this year I got talking to a guy about driving around Cadwell park. Out came the rose tinted spectacles and I mentioned that of everything I've driven there (including a 350bhp supra) the most fun I had was with my cappo.
I started looking at eBay and other sites seeing what was on offer, when one night a cappo appeared fairly locally at a good price. The pics might as well have been non existant, as they were all taken in the dark and were of randome bits of a panel. Nothing of the full car.
So it was a gamble but I did a deal over the phone and collected it the next day.
It's been my daily car since march and has been great fun.
I started collecting parts to transform it a little.
So far,
Apexi boost gauge
Momo steering wheel as it gives me a bit more legroom
Nice 'razo' gear knob from the u.s.
RSR lowering springs which still need fitting
Integra type r wheels which need painting and some 185/45 tyres
Cheap and nasty induction kit until I find a reasonably priced hks or apexi
I got soldave on here to import this J-works, autojewell N1 exhaust for me
And from a chap in france I bought my F100 kit
I also bought a new engine with half the mileage of mine. Other than a cracked cam cover, there's nothing wrong with my engine but with less miles it should hold up to big boost better and I can rebuild the old one up to 700cc
Anyway..... Brown love?
I've got a thing for beige and brown cars. Brown was never in fashion so surely it can't go out of fashion.
These are the pics from this afternoon straight from the paint booth
The black roof is Audi phantom black and the brown is a new colour for the 2012 skoda yeti.
Honest opinions please guys and also opinions on what colour I should paint the wheels. I'm thinking white or gunmetal grey.
Thanks

I didn't think I would but I do like that colour on the Cappo! 
As for the wheels I'd say gunmetal grey/anthracite would go with the paint scheme better than white. |

Nothing wrong with a bit of brown loving ha ha
I like the colour. I really do. Brings it into fashion and up to date a little more. Did you get the engine bay done also? I do like that colour. Bit dark for me but still nice.
I walk past my local audi dealer everyday and last month I went inn to grab the colour codes. The colour is Dakota grey. Similar to yours
As for the wheels I suggest getting the originals refurbed so they are sparkling. Or white/ phantom black for the Honda's. Go with your heart.
The exhaust sticks out too much. It would look good if you could see more of the can on the side more.
Overall they have done a good job. No other pictures?

Like it! My other half has been refurbing some alloys and he has painted the centres with a Porsche brown and it works really well too.
Cant wait to see it with the new wheels on  |

Result came out great  As for the wheels I don't think white would suit it. Gunmetal grey would go better I think. |
