Can't wait to see the results....personally I've got 432 Monaco blue at the moment and it looks purple when the sun shines it...which I don't like...so maybe I had a dodgy paint batch? If I get mine re-sprayed I think I'll go for 449 blue. 8) How many days is this gonna take WilliamsJr?

Looking good Gav :D

Sorry about the delay but have only just got back from a long weekend away in centre parcs with the mrs.

It was good to meet you Gav, your naples beast is looking mint and I want your wheels lol ;)

I was going to keep it 449 blue but decided at the last minute...once I hit the M6 on my way there that I fancied a change and decided on 432

Graham is going to have the car for about 10 days but im in no major rush.

The wheels......I am still undecided on what colour to go for and have changed my mind loads of times.

I am going to spray them myself with rattle cans when I get her back and decide that way before I go ahead and get them powder coated.

Do I go for:

White
Anthracite
Black
Silver
Gold

Cheers for the pics Gav and keep them coming as I will use them on my website once i have pulled my finger out and finished designing it.

Just gotta replace my coilovers with some H&R's or Leda's and all will be done on the modding front....unless I decide to go for TB's later on this year if I keep it.

I will take plenty of pics for you guys once I have got her back...I have just bought an 8 megapixel cam so should get some decent piccies.

Oh and **** knows how them rocks got under my arches, no wonder she was a bit sluggish :roll: :lol:

432 is for wannabe's. =D>

Cheers Northy...think I prefer the 449 colour when you see it in the flesh....really gone off the pearlescent look of 432 when the suns shines on it :(
