Hi Patgas, car looks great and I love the colour - just bought a Titanium one, picking it up soon, but the dark blue really does look fabulous. Wonder if anyone knows what the most popular colour was of all the nobles sold? Chris.

Nice car Patgas. Blue with nothing but carbon, a man of good taste.

Carbon wing ends and black wing mirror + spoiler supports really finish the look. Take it from me.

Then you need to start replacing everything in the engine with upgraded black parts.... Oh, and then never use it! Ha

Very nice. Where did you get those done and what's the cost?

Thanks

Wicked coatings in Poole. Back then it was about £60 per wheel. Thinks it's a bit more now.

Black with black....intercooler, water tank, oil header and pipes....this is how they should have left the factory. Much neater!

How did you get your wheel nuts black? I'd love mine to be blue instead of red....only thing missing.

But you can see the spoiler / wing mirror mounts here...

Hi Lawrence, I painted those nuts black a couple of years ago. I sanded them smooth, etch primed them then used a satin black spray can. Looks much better and easy to do. (You must use an etch primer as standard primer won't stick to aluminium)
