It's the Ford Imperial Blue, the one they used for the Escort Cosworth back in the day
I can get the paint code if you wish.

Yes please, much appreciated.

Nice wheels Dave! Are they diamond cut or two-tone painted/coated?

They are 'diamond cut' and been painted in shadow chrome I believe and look
I know this as they were my old wheels and Dave had 'em treated

Unfortunately not, was just out on a gentle run with the other half, pic was taken on B4560.

There was a 500 parked there, Same colour and very similar reg number.
Your not from Crumlin/Pontypool way by any chance.

Mine is only a lowly 400 sadly. I'm based in Bristol but was enjoying the lovely roads over the Brecons, such a great drive when the roads are dry

Ah, thanks Mac. Bang on the look I'm after.
Unfortunately the costs appear to be more than I paid for the wheels! Unless you know differently?

That Peter is something I don't know, you'd have to contact Dave. Though I am thinking of having my Spiders done in it and I've heard anything from 50 quid a wheel to 90. There seems to be different shades too on how it's applied.

I saw Dave on Sunday and mentioned to him about this thread and some questions asked... He may come online if he remembers. I did say that you (Mac) had answered the 1st time round.

[pb450]

Thanks Jason. Appreciate it. How you doing?

[TVRJAS]

All good this end Peter and hope the same for you..Looks like the TiTT meeting has been sabotaged so not sure when we will get to meet up. Unless you're going to the "Poole Quay for my car" this Friday.

Should be plenty of Chimaera's attending (Just so we stay on topic)

[pb450]

Alas, I will be in deepest Devon by then - without the Tiv, staying on topic. I'm sure we'll find another occasion.

No mate, proper Mk3 Chimaera faired in lights by Surface & Design.

They use the Mk1 Golf headlight unit, which with the latest LED bulbs work really well.

It's a lovely colour that car is Dave.
