Nice, not a fan of the blue wheels :mrgreen: :P

Great colour & looks good!
At this time of year, all you need is a red suit, a pillow, a long white beard, & 300 Reindeer to go with it. :mrgreen:

well the clear is on half of it :lol: so only the bonnet and bars to go. already I know this would be my very best spray on a car so well and truly ahead of what I had prior to the strip down

I am now well ahead of the mgf :lol: and the clear coat - look at the shine right off the gun right round the car
