Yep - in slate grey.

After the works have been done 90% of the car will need new paint anyway, I fancy a change, and a flat grey will be easier to paint than metallic silver,

That colour scheme is going to look great 8) and I like the signature lettering to keep it a characterful car.

That colour scheme looks really good. Similar to how it once was, just better...same as the metal work. :)

There are parts of the German trip that I can't (or don't want) to remember!

That's the plan. Probably wont get round to the respraying till next spring.

I also like the wheels thing - it was Chris' idea but I know Haasad did it on his.
