Thought as much. Shame. Still looks the billox though.

Nitpicking - check :roll: :lol: .

Any lower and it would be unusable as said. If I move carpark again I`ll get it slammed onto its hoop man :lol:

The kind of fish-eye picure is probably closest to the actual colour in the flesh, but it changes a lot. I parked it up the other night and looking at it in the street it looked black.

MMMMhhh that car park looks familiar. One of the girls in the showroom just told me that you were round last Thursday night. If I had known I wouldn't have disappeared early from work, photos look great look forward to seeing it in the flesh.

Very pragmatic.

Though I would look at lifting the rear a tad as well to balance things out. Not just visually but also aerodynamically.

Can you get trick dampers that will lift from the cockpit, like in these newfangled Lambos etc?!

Or the ones that dance like Huggy Bear's Lincoln in Starsky and Hutch...

Some good photos there Adam, and your car looks ace JJ. Picture 2 is particularly good.

Adam, all in my honest opinion, I think your watermark/signature on the pictures is a little 'flowery' shall we say, perhaps a bit distracting. I totally understand the purpose, but i think something more subtle would look better!

Cracking shots though!

Cost was a lot :lol: Agreed value insurance though should the worst happen.

Paul, the only bits I am going to vinyl are the recesses on the front clam and also the black stonechip protectors, and some black vinly on the sill edge.

Keen on getting some rolls of two or three colours of vinyl (black and a lighter grey / white) for some army cammo though at some point in the future 8)
