Nobles been Tango'd - respray in progress.

[Urban]

I've taken the plunge! I posted a while back that I was contemplating getting a full colour change done to the Noble.
Decided upon Lamborghini Arancio Pearl, basically copying Matt from Jetstream - sorry Matt.
The old black bits will be painted a deep anthracite. So hoping a nice contrast will be achieved.

That looks cool! nice touch as well with the Anthracite!

[Urban]

Thanks, I'm really happy with the colour and the quality of paint finish is superb!
I've used a local body shop in Glenrothes Fife called SJH Bodyworks. The owner Scott really knows his stuff!

My wheels are the same shade of anthracite as the details around the glass. The rear wing and splitter will also match the same grey.

Great colour choice mate. I've always loved Matts and have a pic of it up on the garage wall to remind me of my Noble days ; )

[Scooby P1]

Wow. Brave but looks nice.

Hope you're not keeping the front mesh orange?!

Its much easier to paint it all body colour, then paint the mesh black after!

[andygtt]

stunning... you don't know how close my car has come to going that colour... i bought the paint quite a few years back.

will we be seeing it at any of our noble meets?

[IainRS]

Stunning colour, that should look amazing when finished with the anthracite bits and pieces. We'll have to meet up some time, you're not that far away from me.

[Fitz666]

Just braw...

[Urban]

Glad I have got the thumbs up and general approval! It was a bit of a leap of faith going from Larch Silver!!

Lawrence - dont worry mate, Im going to have all the mesh painted anthracite too. You are seeing work in progress really.

Andy - Its good to hear you where thinking about this colour for your own motor (although bare carbon must win hands down!). It's a stunning shade of orange....im very pleased Im based up in Edinburgh so southern meets will be the larger ones hopefully. I'm planning to take the car to a few meets and shows next year for sure....

Iain RS - I was formerly "Dealmaster" on here.....changed my username. I missed the Scottish get-together last year due to work pressures. Hopefully there will be another Scottish meeting before the year-end. I thought you where selling up?

I'll keep you posted with progress of the work, the handover date has been scheduled for the 15th September....can't wait!

Cheers

Hi Nick, I was/am but don't have the time to devote to selling it just now. I also don't really need to or want to sell it either....

[IainRS]

I don't think we actually had a meet last year, it would be great to see all the Nobs together again.

Hi Iain,
Coming to think about it, it was probably the meet you all had in Autumn 2011.....more like 2 years.......scary!

[GC1]

Glad to see more of the Nobility getting together, as some did recently at the Silverstone classic 10 cars most of the weekend,not to mention of the guest appearance of an M600.

here's some photos from a very memorable event.

[Dave2P]

Wow. Fantastic colour!

Funnily enough, on my last drive out in the Nob I was utterly humbled for "road presence" by (I think) a Murcielago SV in this exact colour and thought the Noble would look good in it. I'm jealous already.

Great choice and look forward to seeing some pictures of the complete car (in bright sunlight with a black stormy sky behind please...).

[Urban]

Now got the anthracite details done.....grills, meshes and rear clam bits......
