However lets not get a splash of paint get in the way of a real romance story :lol: and it looks ok, if your into that kind of think.

Which clearly I'm not :lol:
That said it ought to counter the weight loss from the loss of paint on the front clam young lotus flower.

Looks good :thumbsup

Mine are starting to look a bit shabby, might need to give them a quick lick of paint this summer. Need to try and sort out the grilles also, they're not quite as black as they once were :(

I did the grills at the front with some black hammerite. They were getting really rusty. They look much better now. Will probably do the ones on the side pods too, as they get all chipped really easily.
