that looks awesome. looks the same colour as the renaultsport liquid yellow.

[scotty_d]

The name of its paint is Halcyon Midas Gold quite close to the renault 225 but it is a bit deeper and darker yellow this can look nearly white in some lights and dark yellow in others.

Very nice indeed, i'm biased obviously. Have you got it sat on nitrons as it's looking nice and low??

[JDMc]

Excuse my Ignorance but those brakes look awfully small!

Is that standard fitment for the Tiv's of this generation?

Gorgeous colour by the way and it looks in excellent condition.

[scotty_d]

Its on standard gaz not set up yet as i have a leaking one and sent it back to gaz yesterday after on 500 miles!it is too low, when i get it back it will get a full geometry set up,

Standard brakes front are Sierra 4x4 and rear Sierra cosworth cars that weigh considerable more than the light weight chim i rebuilt them and the are now st hot. They do look small but work well braded hoses and EBC disc's and pads

not usually my preferred choice, but i'm warming toward yellow and Halcyon Midas is a fine colour IMO, suits the Chim shape very well it would appear from your shots (nice efforts BTW!) it looks great on the SP12's too IMO!

[minimatt1967]

amazing colour, always thought tiv's look best in dark colours but that has just blown that theory out of the water! The anthracite wheels compliment it well, a credit to you sir!

[Waynester]

Very lellow! Like it though, really works with the Chimaera shape.

[scotty_d]

Thanks for the comments the wheels are OZ super leggras i think, not sp12. A few shots when i first had it.

[MINIrocket]

Looks fantastic in that colour. Dark wheels work well too!

Can I ask where you got the smoother air intake bend pipe from? was it part of a kit? I've recently purchased my first chim, and just looking it likely things to do once i've had it a few months.
Cheers

Very nice, love the color, might try to persuade my Dad to go for something more lively when he has his resprayed.

Not to sure about the starter/kill switch on the dash looks a little halfords.
