would be a good challenge. what i've found doing mine is just apply roughly and leave it in the sun, then the sun does the rest for you. just sling a really big bit over it and leave it

i'm an italian man I'm afraid so as much as I love the porsche (and i really do love the GT2) I could never betray my heart.

plus I just bought some proper bling bling so need to hibernate the wallet for a few months to let it recover.

if italian, it's got to be the a lambo. played with a few of the ferarris and tbh there's too much computer trickery involved for my liking. should be able to say what the 430 scuderia's like soon. hopefully a little more involved.

bling for the scoob?

the gallardo is so clinical though that it can actually be a bit boring. I would only have a lambo over a ferrari if I could pick up a murci for around the 110k mark. unless that was the case there is no better experience than blasting up a motorway slip lane in a 360 spider complete with a nice koenig set of lungs screaming bloody murder out of the back. gallardo is amazing but just too toned down. apart from the SL of course!

bling for me not the scoob.

should be able to get a murci for around the 100k mark now i'd have thought. wouldn't get the pick of the colours though.

i thought that the 360 spyder was too soft compared to the coupe, but you can hear that cracking v8 howl better.

i've not had the chance to play with a gallardo sl yet. perhaps i better nudge ecurie into getting one lol.

personal bling........
