... my front plate just \'fell\' off while I was washing the car this afternoon.  God it looks better without the damn thing on there.  Found a place down the road in Lewisham that\'ll do custom sizes but for now...

Engine bay is the original colour - innocent blue mica - so it doesn\'t stand out too badly.  Paint job was done in Japan b4 I got it and is a beautiful colour - quite a lot darker to the eye than the photo and has nice metallic undertones with a violet flip.  Unfortunately the paint job is quite poor quality up-close as I notice every time I polish it.

Matt black might look good but matt finishes are harder to keep clean.  Personally I like matching the main colour with some detail highlighting and lots of shiny inside bits.

And those two extra holes in the front will allow sooooo much extra cooling.  :p :bandit :rollin :rollin :rollin :rollin :rollin :rollin :rollin :rollin :rollin :rollin :rollin :rollin :rollin :rollin :rollin :rollin :rollin :rollin :rollin :rollin :rollin :rollin :rollin :rollin :rollin :rollin :rollin :rollin :rollin :rollin :rollin :rollin :rollin :rollin :rollin :rollin :rollin :rollin

I didn\'t think they did 7\'s in that colour till the \'99 onwards changes, I\'m guessing that yours is a 96-99, by the back wing?!

Not that it doesn\'t look amazing!!

I guess it\'s not IBM then - what\'s the blue/greeny colour (like Lee\'s)?  I guess it\'s that colour.  Mine\'s a \'92 car btw.

The piccy was teh end result fo a few hours washing and polishing and was well worth the effort - lovely afternoon to be skiving off work treating the FD!

Went for a blast last night with the g/f out round tonbridge - found some twiddly lanes and car now has nice muddy streaks up it\'s sides.  That too was well worth it!

Black cars do look the dogs-danglies when clean but get dirrrty pretty fast!

Always said i\'d never have another black car cos they get dirty so quick, but when i decided to have the fd resprayed i thought \'what the hell, they look great in black\' and definately better than the red that it was

Ere don\'t pay a lot with those Lewisham people. I paid £8.99 inc delivery for my plate, so if they try and change ya loads tell em where to go

Place I got mine from is called Rushden Graphics
