I've been sporting a pair of patent burgundy DM boots lately - go Burgundy, bang on trend

Fantastic work Mark. Love all the colour schemes and I would find it difficult to choose one!

I think the blue/grey stripe is edging ahead

I've tweaked it a bit more to add some stickers in.

For the moment this is my fave - but the burgundy could edge past towards the end. I've got a few months before I need to decide

Mark I have a solution to your problem. Paint the car that lovely petrol blue colour and then wrap rather than paint the strip. That way you can change it later to a different scheme 8)

Getting annoyed now.
First thought about getting a respray in slate grey, but then after seeing a 911 in that 356 colour decided on that instead.
My respray won't happen for a couple of years, so now I will just be copying that other bloke :lol:
First time I saw that colour was on a 911 discussed in MPD, most people gave it a bit a slagging so I wouldn't bother. Keep the silver, you don't see many of those.
