Good morning Stephen,

I an will send you some pictures of the panels being painted.

Kind regards,

Andy

Well I have received a picture of a painted bumper - but you know how it is - you get all excited - then the phone goes before you can upload it......

I will say one thing - my username isn't very appropriate any more.

I'm looking forward to the username change request. :evil:

Apparently they are only available now in return for a generous donation to 10 for 10 :wink:

I think I'll keep the username for sentimental reasons - and still happy to contribute to "10 for 10" as punishment for my great sin. And who knows - I'll probably change it back to Olive in a couple of weeks!

Have just been on the phone to Porsche. They were prep'ing for paint this afternoon. Was slightly worried about getting a "Friday afternoon rush job" and managed to persuade them to defer till Monday when I'll go in to watch.

I sneaked in and took a spy shot – they've made a few other changes, too, but reckoned Olive still looked the best...
