Cars are very limited in colour choices now sadly.
When I checked I found you were right SnineT:

177 Graphite metallic

Took it a good run the other day. Great to drive. Subframes arrive on Wednesday so I’ll get the Sparco seats In hopefully this week. Next week it’s away to get lowered on classic Swede springs, fuel leak sorted and wheel alignment. Can’t wait to get it finally lowered as the arch gaps are messing with my OCD. That should be it till it goes to classic Swede for the turbo conversion mid year. Also ordered a V70R front brake kit as well so some nice 330mm discs up front for the new power coming. I’ll fit them before it goes away. Hence the 18’s a few have some gripes on the 240 U.K. Facebook page but you can’t get that size disc in a 15 inch wheel so hey ho.

V70R brakes arrived 330mm discs with 240 hangers. I’ll get these on the end of the month.
