's alright I suppose :-k










:D :D :D I'm just so pleased 'we' have a car like this in the UK, what with the recent trend of all the more desireable cars going abroad.

Thanks Mark :salute:


And my :mytwocents: on the wing would be to try it in black first. I think green would make it stand out too much and detract from the lines of the original car. If it were black it would blend in more with the back ground and be less visible. If you want it more visible tho..... I'll get me coat :roll:

Looks absolutely fantastic!!!! :thumbright: :thumbright:
I already loved it before but the paintjob really shows it off so well it's not true!!

My 2c (so now you have a couple of dollars!), either leave the wing as it is, I think it looks great, or have it black. Don't paint it body colour for the reasons Rob mentioned. If you do want it black then anodize it rather than paint.
Just my opinion!! It will still look great whatever you do.

No, he doesn’t like the gold anodised finish on the beadlocks :roll:

How about painting the rear wing black to match the bonnet / blower and sides, so it flows from front to rear.

General opinion so far is: 6 Black, 2 Green & one green/black "smoked" checkerd. I'm still not sure, at the moment, I am swaying towards the Black :scratch:
Green/black "smoked" checkerd is off the list :D

Black wing makes the car look shorter , like em both so i'm on the fence.
