The DaRk KnightEvening all. Picked my car up Wednesday afternoon and absolutely delighted with the results! Powdercoated in Carrs Anthracite which is a medium Anthracite. The light Anthracite was the same as Volvo 932 and it would have clashed with the calipers and the Dark Anthracite was too dark. So i went with the medium. The car has yet to have a full paint correction thou it is the final thing on my to do list. Unfortunately, what with having 3 new calipers, front brake pads, clutch, dmf and slave cylinder, front end respray, steering column U/J, 4 new tyres and 4 wheel alighnment totalling £4192 (in the last 6 weeks)...i'm now skint. So it will have to wait until after TRAX. Gonna enjoy driving her now for a wee while.
So here are the photo's of the wheel's after refurb + new Dunlop Sport maxx RT tyres:
I will say one one thing. It was well worth it!!
See ya'll at Silverstone!! (and if you think i'm tracking it...)
