    That looks mean!

    As I said in the fave colour thread, dark metallic blue looks great!

    Good job there!

    IMO valvers look best with no mods or very subtle mods, and that is a beautiful example of one!

    It was sunny - like I say it had literally just come out the body shop after they'd washed it for the final time to get the mopping dust off it - it was still dripping.

    Can't polish it for 2 weeks until the paint has properly hardened off - just a precaution to make sure we don't damage it. It's still shiny as feck though even without polish!

    That's the standard "Sport blue" Trig, though with the fading light I think the camera didn't pick the colour up quite right. I think the respray cost about £800 in all with all the arch work and stuff done to get rid of the rust.

    I think it looks way, way better without the badges. I'm gonna lose my front badge ASAP
