    new look for my car

    So after a weekend with a couple cans of matt black paint this was the result.

    I think I fell in love with her all over again.

    Thanks. I think that im one of a few people who likes the columbas. Dont get me wrong they do look good on big wheels. But the design of the columbas is reminiscent of the mid 90s. Like car retro. Lol

    Can I be honest and say the stock wheels look rubbish?Well they do and spoil the shiny paint work,just save up and fit a set of volance that look the best on that colour in my opoinion,then you`ll be sleeping in her lol Clean looking car mate,which is most important.

    The picture makes the paint work look alot better then it is in reality.

    I was very close to going down the rat look avenue. And now im glad I didnt.

    I think that tge black tint works well with the black wheels.

    James. Your new motor is very nice.

    When I bought the car it wasn't for the colour. But it has grown on me.
