Hi I'm Lee from Portsmouth i have recently become the proud owner of a vitara by default, Only drawback is that it is a Pink Rossini.The story goes like this,Just over a year ago my girlfriend being a hairdresser/beautician come up with the bright idea that a Vitara Rossini would be the perfect look for her 12 months later My beloved has now decided that the vit is to rough a ride for her (even after I had upgraded it to power steering,replacing engine,new clutch,head gasket, cam belt and front cv joint ) and has claimed her ford puma back off me. She welcome to the puma now as the vit has proved to be so much fun I love it and i done so much work on her already seems silly to get rid of her because she is pink so first job will be a re-spray I'm thinking orange(tho i'm a little concerned just in case she is a genuine limited edition Rossini would be a shame if there wasn't many of them left) still i carn't go driving pink anus forever getting to many funny looks haha.
Any way i got big plans for her money permitting so I will be posting pictures and keeping people informed as to how Im getting on .....Lee

I'd get 20 cans of satin black, some masking tape and paper and go to town on it.
Or mop it and get it as bright as pos and be different. As soon as you start getting it muddy and lifting it and huhge tyres people look anyways

Bazzworx missus on here has a Rossini. I hate to tell you this but there were only 250 made worldwide so they are a bit rare
you might have to keep it pink and just put up with the embarrassment of driving it in public
just wear a wig and it'll be fine

Hi thanks for the welcome, yes i got a big decision to make with the rossini thats not made any easier because of all the repairs i have done to her, I do know that i really want a vitara now i know what fun they are problem is do i sale her to someone who will appreciate her as she is and buy another one and risk having to go through all the hidden problems i had with this one or do i carry on with this one as i have come this far and know where i stand with her.

Looking good, I don't think i'd be able to drive a pink one about, I wouldn't be able to handle the stick! Is that some go faster gaffer tape I see on the front wing?
I'm quite keen on keeping things original but if I was you I'd get the colour changed!
