    Comet refurb which colour?

    HI Guys, going to get my Comets refurbed, my car is Saffron so was just wondering which colour would look best, i do like the Anthracite colour that is on the wheels now, i think dark doesn't look too good, so i thought i would start a poll.

    Good idea Gary, dark gets my vote matches the black external trim.

    Did you know the EU says that you can't claim that drinking water prevents dehydration. So now you know for sure what many of have known for years that the EU is run by a bunch of nutters.

    Indeed, but do you think black would look rubbish & I should just go for dark anthracite?

    Hi Pliskin, don't worry the 850R is still in my ownership, the S70R in the picture is my brothers

    VK - It's the 850 fibre glass splitter purchased from our very own VPC splitter producer Tomcat. Doesn't fit the 70 series bumper quite as well as the 800 series but I am sure you will agree it still works with the look of the car very well
