Hey guys, last June I bought a "Misty Violet" Civic VTI. I don't see too many purple ones, so I thought it was cool.

Now I'm pretty much sick of the colour, I really regret the fact that the next car I was going to look at was a black VTI-L and I didn't look at it because I was really happy with this purple one. I want to start modding it as soon as I can, and my dad doesn't want me to waste my money on a re-spray. But I would prefer my car to be black.

In a car park last year I smashed in my side skirt and a little bit of my door just in front of my left back wheel and I haven't had the money to repair it yet.

If you were me, would you get the car repaired and sell it then buy a black one, or would you repair it, keep the purple and mod it as is?
