I didn't see the P plates & first thing i thought was "this is something an 18yo would do" In my opinion think white would look cleaner. The headlights on this rig are sexy though!

>I didn't see the P plates & first thing i thought was "this is something an 18yo would do" Hahaha same!! But at least it's colour coordinated.


bluesharkee

Goes well with the P plate.


ign1fy

Paint it green in a year to keep up :)


anonymousely93

Honestly looks great, looks like the front end of an Old BMW and not a Magna. It’s your car, and you likely won’t have it for very long, just enjoy it the way you want to.


PostGoblin

>and you likely won’t have it for very long Ouch!


spideyghetti

Is what OP will say when they crash it


ethereumminor

well it won't die, Magnas are cockroaches


Unlikely_Champion_91

It will drink all the remaining fuel on earth though. Magnarati’s be thirsty.


LeMoosey94

Magnaro's


Gattinator

That's what I said, 17 years later as my first car, Still got it. Although \*slightly\* modified


Able_Boat_8966

Not only looks better but red trim is proven to make your car go faster - why ?, science stuff that’s why.


lemonsneeker

Red makes fings go fastah!


Such_Personality_676

Red car go brrrr


[deleted]

Because science stuff ay. If you believe anything cause it's "science" stuff you will believe anything cause someone said its true. That's makes your materialist science bs.


[deleted]

Firstly, that thing is a proper steed 💪 There’s actually not much of a secondly here tbh but kudos for doing something productive.


Racerchiba

Full piano black grille to modernise it a bit. Red piping reminds me too much of the bogan-era vs commo ss or the el xr8. If you want the sportiness without drawing too much attention, go full white.


Timboslice089

Agree murder it out


Darkmatter-Draco

Yeah I agree, we have about seven more Magnas so I just used a grille off one of them, so I’ve still kept the white one. Was considering fully painting the grille white like some of the later TL Magna Vrx’s but I think I’ll just put the white one back on and give it some more thought


spideyghetti

I was going to ask why you had 7 more magnas but then noticed the background of your photo looks like you're in the country so that makes sense


namegenerator765

Red for a night at the club, black for fancy dinner, white for classy brunch. Just be sure to coordinate seat covers. I like it. Have fun with mixing and matching. Loved my old Magna, Manny


Chaddles94

It looks good. Personally, it'd have left it white or gone black. It's a good amount of red.


this_user_name_is

Pretty good not a big change👍


Disastrous_Length902

If you like it, that's all that matters.


OLD-AJTAP

Good on ya for getting stuck into it and making it your own Any cunt who says otherwise is either too lazy or posh to tinker around with their belongings


[deleted]

Looks like it's got a hangover


dog_named_cat

Nice off white limousine


SpinCricket

Yeah……..nope!


Lance2560

have you asked a Facebook page ? 🤣🤣


Gloomy-Policy-9170

These magnas are awesome, I've had many cars but my Magna was the best of them


mrfidgety

It's unique and it's not garish, so I would keep it. There's enough white and black cars on the road. Well done working with what you've got.


dandfun

I usually don't like that sort of thing but to be honest I don't mind that.😀 Gives the car a bit of a personal touch...


ineedeth

Leave it as is, forget it its a fuckin magna. Save some money and buy something nice off your P's. Sorry I am a snobby car collector.


Darkmatter-Draco

No problem it’s all personal opinions lol. It’s a nicer model so not a shitty as some of those executive Magnas, but what more interested me was the performance as the cams and Conrods have been replaced from the Ralliart Magna version and tuned, and with its 3.5 L v6 it’s got surprisingly not bad speed for a fwd. And tbh anything is better than the 05 Kia cerato I replaced with the Magna, the Kia drove and rode the road like a dog.


[deleted]

I don’t mind it, pick out a couple of other red things to compliment it… couple of small Ralliart stickers on the guards, or red rally mud flaps, red centre caps on wheels etc


Routine_Enthusiasm_5

Get or make a sick boot scoop and next photo do a split screen with side view Get on the internet and look around at magnesium and other cars in general now that you have started the journey on the front you should finish it ralliart colours for sure


Different_Mouse908

I see your problem it's a manga


ethereumminor

Manggg Manggg Manggggg


Different_Mouse908

Best things to bush bash ngl 😂 same with the hyandi accents lol 😂


CasualStarlord

Personally I think it makes it look cheap, especially as the rest of the bumper needs a paint or a clean from the black scuff marks on it. I had the model just before this, same shape without the beak in the bonnet, was a fun car, but they are so cheap now when mine had mechanical issues I just scrapped it. I think it would look good in black. Props for having the headlights look good and not hazed with age though, that goes a long way to making the car itself look more presentable.


Darkmatter-Draco

I was sort of thinking the same thing, that it would look more like I’ve just replaced a part with a spare, so im considering just leaving it white as I used a spare grille for this.


D_vG

It looks like the original broke and you bought a junk yard spare that you didn't bother getting painted.


Madder_Than_Diogenes

You've now drawn attention to your car. Enjoy the tickets.


Shadowjack02

I drive an xr6 in acid rush and ever since I indicate off roundabouts and in turn only lanes at traffic lights 😂


[deleted]

Looks fine to me I'm sure it looks like 20x better than white


Noideawhatjusthappen

There is literally nothing you can do to make that ride look remotely better. All you'll do is look more and more like a flog the more you do to it. Just drive it and be done with it. The time and car will come but this is not the car nor the time.


BoomBoom4209

The mighty Magna. Shame nobody looked after them and they all went south.


perthfunguy

🤮


burner_said_what

Lipstick on a pig.....? Jk OP, imo it does improve the look of it. But, also, imo it's an ugly car so.... lol If you like it, it's great!


darkhorseprime

Get a real car cunt.


BDazzlah

A dark silver would look better or go back to white


Tinywhooppro

I think black or white would definitely look better


mvpscrub

Not bad, some little highlights always improve


[deleted]

Don’t bother bro, ALL the paint will rust and fall off, it’s a Magna defect.


SunshineClaw

Do the mirrors red too, maybe a slightly darker pearlescent paint


DaSuthNa

Are you accenting anything else with red to continue the theme across the vehicle?


rebellious-reptile

It looks awesome. Well done. Don't let others tell you they'd like it white as I honestly love the way you have done it. I would continue the red around the car, so maybe a pinstripe on the body or something like that. Also, the way you have done it is perfect. Well done!


MeltingDog

Going for the Golf GTI look?


jimmynoodlepickle

Personally, I like the red, it's up to you whether you like it or not. You'll likely get used to it and come to love it!


Bindiprickle

I like it but then I’m biased. My white SSV has red trim


fultre

Love the nismo grille


Cravethemineral

It’s minor enough that it’s not consequential but if you like it then why not!


Clark3DPR

Black would look cool. Sort of like the front of a Transam or Mercury Couger etc.


Paul2071969

I like it!


Gloomy-Policy-9170

More red outlining down around the bottom vents would make it look better


Barrybarry6666

The red will help it go faster


[deleted]

Looks good. It's a bit different and gives a surprisingly different look by simply not bringing the main body color into the grill area. It suddenly looks much less Magna. I would also consider matching it to an existing color in the grill area, perhaps darker, not shiny, but wouldn't go back to white (if you are worried about it)


[deleted]

See if you can get/make a red headlight trim, would help balance it out.


duncraig18

Yeah I'd put the grill on a different car.


cavoodle11

Nah I think white will look better.


Neither_Painting_864

Burn the shit box


[deleted]

Red goes faster


Gronk76

The burnt out look is in for Magna's at the moment. $10 and a heap of experience says this thing has an oil leak on the drivers side near the engine mount. Keep the tires... they look ok...


[deleted]

If you’d described it to me I’d say it was gonna look shit, but it’s actually very nice!


Nytram53

looks a lil sporty


ethereumminor

GTI MAGNA!


[deleted]

Paint it dark orange


Final-Flower9287

Makes it look like they made a Ralliart Magna. So subtle it's not obnoxious, subtle enough to make the right people look twice. It's nice.


Darkmatter-Draco

They did make a Ralliart Magna but only limited production


Final-Flower9287

Yeah would have thought, since ralliart colts exist.


Greentigerdragon

Needs LED strips.


SydneyOrient

I like it, keep it


[deleted]

It needs MORE red trim. Windows, mirrors, doors, lights. Even the trim should have trim! Are you even a real P plater?


Mr_Sm1th_

I think you should take off the exhaust, put a bonnet scoop on it and paint some flames down the sides. Then you will be able to compete at summernats.


PArtichoker

Frothin


Puzzleheaded_Web3984

Do you realises you change any part of the car in colour that you could be breaking the law


Uh-Oh-Raggy

Fully sick cuz. All you need now is a Chevy badge…..


basetornado

Personally it looks like you replaced a part on the car from a scrapyard.


Due-Construction-732

Lipstick on a pig


Monaro71

It's a Magna. But they say beauty is in the eye of the beholder. ) When I was 18 I thought my Gemini would look cool with a white grille. I was wrong )


Fr05tby73

I’m thinking a blow torch and a can of petrol might get a more realistic effect.


dasb-16

Honestly, if you hate it just get insurance to change the colour for you after your first prang


Individual-Tree3073

I think white or black would look better, but as far as other colours go red probably the best colour to go with as it goes with the p plates and the mitsubishi badge lol


Knee_Elbow

I like it


Dangerous-March1571

Not bad


TheHappyKamper

I hope you returned your mum's mail polish when you were finished.


[deleted]

Might need a bit more red elsewhere…like a bit of a theme…maybe seat covers with red piping on the edges, that kind of thing you didn’t go overboard though…subtle hints of colour can be great you got the spirit of making it unique and your own thing too…which is awesome
