Default Off with the Dark and on with the Gold.

After all the mud at Chatsworth the R was looking rather sorry so a good clean was order of the day.
While the wheels were off I thought Hmmmm I fancy a change, so on went the Gold.
What do you think, I still cant decide which I perfer

As was.









Now for some gold.











Not sure how well the new sunstrip came out but its one of the best £15 I've ever spent.



That was how I spent most of my Saturday

Dark is best. But Gold is good for the summer.

Love both, but prefer the gold on your car Kev.

Adds a nice contrast and breaks up the car a little

I think the gold looks bad on the grey. The wheels stand out too much imo

Thanks for all the comments guys, TBH I like both, I cant say I like one more than the other but it goes to show how a change of colour makes such a difference and its nice to be able to swap them over as and when I fancy a change
