These are not very good i'm afraid cause i'd just driven down from Birmingham, it had been raining and the light was starting to fail when i took the pictures. The colour looks almost pint, but it's a dark wine red sort of colour in the flesh. Anyway, they will do for now until the sun comes out againg and i clean her and take some proper pictures :wink:

Good Lord brettski. You have eyes like a Hawk mate :lol: Yes you're right. They put the front wheels on backwards. One of my rear tyres is also on the wrong way round. You just can't get the staff these days can you :wink: :lol:

Is any of you guys coming to the Brroklands thing? You'd be able to see it better then if you are. It's going back to paintshop next week. There are a couple of tiny little bits that i'm not happy with. For Ԛ£5k, i want a completly flawless job :?

Couldn't be helped though. I just wanted to get back home after Max Live. At least i have a garage for her now, so she wont get wet anymore. My alloys will also look fresher cause it's acid in the rain water that eats into the alooy and leaves those nast water mark all over the place.

As for te pink bit. WELL :oops: :gay: :lol:

looks awesome booty, im still 50/50 on both colours. love the old and new. guess seeing it in the flesh will be totally different as pics never do justice.

also i think those crystal rear lights will look well good on this colour now. if you want send me the pic i did last time and a pic of the car now from behind and i will do another photshopy.

I really loved the orange too, but it wasn't to everyones taste. You either loved it or hated it whereas this candy red is like by everyone whos seen it so far. I'm going to leave it for a year, then take it for an MOT again and hope they crash it again :lol:

I'm 50/50 on the colours.......the new one is very nice though :cool:

Did you get a body-coloured kidney done as well as the black one so you can swap 'em over?

I reckon yours is one of the few E30s that look good with body-coloured kidneys....
