What have you done with your Spider ? - updated PICS!!!!

Hi all,

I am looking for ideas for my 1983 "Spider" refurb....color ideas etc. So I thought I would ask those with earlier models if they had any pics or ideas on how to spruce it up.....you like blast it clean and leave it with the metal finish, paint it glossy black, or my current flirtation.....paint or powdercoat the body black and the arms the colors of the German flag, etc.

So if you have any ideas or pics please post to get my creative juices going.....

BTW - my vacuum lines are yellow silicone and plug wires Red. So you see I already have a little color going.

Thanks!

I went with a simple polish by an enthusiast back in the day, Dave Schaeffer and 928 Metalworks.

I love the polished look but I think if you don't clear coat it then it won't last... it will oxidize IIRC.

Following. I've been wondering about this too. I love the polished look too.

On my '84, I've had the thought of doing the center section in the same color as the exterior of the car and leaving the emblem silver. Then maybe do the runners in black?? Not sure yet. I haven't made up my mind either.

Cool thanks - yes that polished look is nice...lots of work too.. HA
