Since im used to cars with very nice/fresh paintjobs, the 306 was painted in 2009, and is still in very great condition with only a few spots.

Since a friend of my owns a paintshop, he offered me to do the 306 for very good money.
Since i Always loved nice fresh blue metallic cars, im contemplating on having the beast painted Lexus Ultrasonic Blue Pearl, that in conjunction with black wheels, some carbonfiber, would look really hot i think
heres the Lexus color

Nononononononono, I just can't get past how epic it looks murdered out! Now that you've sprayed all the intercooler and pipes black, I just think it's the way forward!

The blue the R32 golfs come in is amazing... Similar to the Lexus just a tad lighter.
On the 306 waiting list.

If I was to have a re spray of the 306 it'd have to be MG Trophy Blue all the way, just something about the way it shines when properly polished up. But that Lexus blue looks ok but each to their own we're all gona have our own "ideal" colour :-)
