Come on Si, dont take the comments to heart. Remember opinions are like arseholes, every bodies got one, doesnt mean there right though.

People are always quick to criticise, I have had it said about mine, you should of never cut up a good 71 Cuda, bla,blah, blah. Water of a ducks back to me.

If you want matt black, then thats fine its your choice, if others dont like it tough, its not there decision & your choice.

I'm sure alot of these comments were made in jest & were probably said to try & wind you up. Dont give them satisfacton of knowing there winning.

Cheers,
Mark . . .

Yep,nothing wrong with Kiwis input. :thumbright:

I just think it'll be hard to live with the paint choice,especially the matt finish.
