I've got a mad period when I get back off my hols to get the car serviced and MOT's then I can concentrate on the mods and mapping once that is done. Forgot the MOT was due so soon after I got back

Must PM Rich to arrange the first lot of work for him

I might just get it blown over when I have the cash, but with some metalflake or pearl lacquer just to give it a twist in the sun

She's now uncovered and started first time

Now to get the service and MOT squared (and tax too)

It'll be either another shade of blue or a red/burgandy colour to compliment it, nothing to wild, but enough to catch the light

That's a point, how do you know what paints will go with others?

E.g I would like a nice black, but with a kind of cherry red flake underneath that shows in the sun, is that possible?

I've seen this R5 GT Turbo in a lambo metallic red sort of colour and like black, so thought the two could combine, just wondering?
