And you can stop with that Chinchilla grey shit too - at least for a few more weeks and I've decided if it's the colour for my car! Cheesy

yeah it is a really nice colour, but subtle, maybe too subtle...  Undecided

if it was my original colour i would keep it otherwise i would not paint it that way... if that explains it.

Dude... Elm green is beautiful! Wink



Former president of Half A Brain, Ben Bosworth's car. This proves that the colour needs a dark interior and chrome getting rid of, and wheel choice is important too. This car looked ok on MWS 8-spokes, but looked really right on the 4.5" and 5.5" Sprintstars and later Fuchs in the same sizes too. Last I heard it was going to become a baja... Shocked Cry
