Well fellas today's the day I pick up my Blade Silver 540C from MacBrum...getting excited. Shame the weather isn't better!

One thing I had done prior to delivery was to have the front splitter and aero blades painted in dark Palladium. I wasn't that happy with the look of the standard ones.



So Ian Groves at MacBrum, who BTW has been excellent throughout my buying experience, organised MacBrum's body shop to have them painted. He sent me a "teaser" picture:



To me I think it makes the front of the car look much better...IMHO of course.

Edited to say the car in first picture is their old demo.

Good move, that's so much better. I could not believe how cheap looking the matt black plastic was and really let a £130k car down. Palladium looks good and well worth the money spent IMHO

Well.....does it live up to your expectations?

Hadn't considered having the front spoiler painted but have to say looks great and will definitely bear in mind when I come to spec a 540c in near future.

Beautiful car Frankie!! Was the front respray done by the dealer, or at the factory? Was it expensive? Are you planning to put a ceramic coating on, or PPF?

Thanks Chris...I have replied to your PM
I have a quote from Paintshield for PPF...thinking about it.

Thanks Frankie, I have used Paintshield several times and they do a great job, although they are pricey
