Hi Gary,

If you go to your local halfords store and lok in the paint department and they have special paint for wheels and there is a tin called 'anthracite'. that is what I used and it has come out really nice I think and against the green paint it looks gopod. I used there high tem,pertaure lacquer as well as reconmended but it is ****e and has peeled in places so re did them with normal lacquer and is fine now.

Would get 2 tins if you can as they need a good few coats to get a decent finish.

Dan

I do think it is worth more than that too but seeing as it needs an mot, vic check and then taxing I was trying to be realistic in the price! I haven't had much interest in the car sadly, market sems to be a bit low at the moment.

I have an appoinment later this week at the hospital which will probably decide the fate of my t4 so will update and then and people with first dibs etc. have been noted.

Thanks mate

I will have a look there next week.

I might just get them sprayed myself, rather than wait for them to be sprayed at my mates work, as it could take agrs to get them back.

Not sure if they can get the right colour either - silver or black :-(

Good luck with the hospital visit, buddy.

Gary

Hope all goes well then you won't have to sell it. I'm actually finding myself drawn to his one. Usually wouldn't touch green...no offence.... but I think it looks really cool on this one. Would be a great track car!
If I could justify 3 lots of car insurance/tax/maintenance I would be hugely tempted.

Sorry Gary totally missed you're response!

Well it was an improvement but still not enough to be allowed to drive sadly :-(

So unless anyone wants the whole car its going to be broken for parts. So if anyone wants anything please get in touch.
