Silver is the only colour which suits carbon IMO. I think you should leave it for the moment as it is.
Anyway, if you decide to paint it, you're well equipped to sort it
How's the 106 coming?

LMFAO @ Jack..
Seems like Carbon it is then...
Had the alloy one.. sold it for a good price to fund a carbon one..
Bought it as I decided to facelift the front and throw my p1 bumper on.

bonnet is coming from evo composites. Dunno about the sport bonnets, but wish I had gone for one now.. probably more aerodynamic..

With your plans I would leave it plain carbon
It will look the business and with the perfomance you are hoping for it should really look the part It seems a shame to put paint on carbon because it looks the dogs. Are you getting carbon vents and scoops too?
