Resized to a more manageable size as requested.

Maybe reduce the max size limit for attachments down to 500kb? Just a suggestion.

Damn now i need my glasses!!!!!

Yeah it has gone to a good home. Unfortunately I have to change a few things to get it re-registered. The cage is out, the nitrous has to go, the windows have to have legal tint fitted.....not happy about that one. This will be my third black 308 LH/LX, but its been 17 years since the last one. I wont be changing much, but a boot spoiler is on the cards. TTO.......no he didn't mention that ?

I'll flick you a PM Grover... and then I'll go re-kick his butt again this time not for selling black beast but for failing to tell you about TTO :Headbang2:

if i get bored of the flares after ive put them on, will there be any permenant damage to the wheel arches?? guessing just the alan key holes im sure thats easy enough to fix when the time comes. i want to keep it 100% original if i ever want to go back but it may not be worth the risk changing

same with the front spoiler.

Black looks awesome (on a dead-straight car) though!

This one RG?

That's my car at Toranafest 2010.
I just got interested in the silver v black debate for obvious reasons and came across this shot of my car.
Silver is easier to keep clean but any painter will tell you it's a bastard of a colour to lay down flat and it does show off any imperfections in the body due to the fleck in the colour.
All comes down to personal preference and what you will enjoy the most.
Cheers,
Adrian

Hey Josh,

don't let the fact that you'll have to wash the car a bit more put you off black. I've had a black car for many years and it's really not that bad. Plus, it'll look so good that you won't mind washing it more often!

Its opel star silver.
There are 5 variants of it (Basically how much metallic fleck is in it)
Cant remember off the top of my head what mine was. About the third one i think. A fair amount of the fleck but not so much it didnt look like a classic silver.

Ive also owned a black car and i loved it but they are a lot of work to keep clean. But if you enjoy washing a car and keeping it clean then its all part of the fun.

Best of luck with what you decide to go with mate.

Whats the name of the silver on yours Adrian?

Josh
