Just painted and fitted these 16 inch NB8B Rims on my NB8A, I wanted to tone down the standard BRIGHT silver to match more closely with my Tan Soft Top. Paint Colour is Champagne Silver

Ahh... you're still a girl at heart... colour coordinating with the best of them... :lol:
:oops:
To be fair from your previous rant though... You're still more mechanically knowledgeable than me

I'm finding it hard to tell the difference though... is it more a matte finish? Or is it that the lighting makes it hard to pick out?

Yes, I can see what you mean by that, it is a gloss finish but it is hard to tell the difference unless you see the before and after "effect"......... maybe I should see if I can get a better shot.

They're Morette headlights
If you had access to a car like this, would you take it back right away? Neither would I.

MX5Chic, did you remove the rear badges or were they already missing when you bought the car?
