Your gear selector sphere does looks good Gary.
Did you like my avoidance of any knob joke.
Hope the car comes home to you soon.
it will be fabulous in green.

Looks great, are you expecting the top coat soon or do they leave it a while to cure first?
Gear knob looks amazing, great to have supplier details. I've seen somewhere else selling his knobs but for £££, great saving going direct.
I was looking for on original replacement one but very tempted by something similar to yours.

I’m expecting another ‘resting’ phase. Hope so as I’m not ready to have it back yet ;)

Gear knob is great value for money. The fact he will make anything you can think for such a good price means you can take a risk.

Well, I think it’s fair to say this thing is going to be bright!

Almost the same colour as the grass :)

Everything’s gone green.

This is just a still from the video Steve sent me, but it’s fair to say the lines are amazing, the light down the quarter is just so good.

To say I’m pleased is an understatement.

Getting exciting now… :)
