So 10 weeks later than anticipated due to COVID Trevor is now back.... and I couldn’t be happier from what it was ...












The pictures just don’t do it justice as it been an overcast day. There a 3 different pearls in it and it’s beyond amazing!!! Also went for a lupo light conversion - with the cowls glasses in! And personally think it works a treat!!!

For anyone thinking of a respray I cannot recommend Rick Collinson of Pride&Joy Autos in Northamptonshire enough! His work is flawless. If anyone toying with having work done - they are more than welcome to inspect my car!

Just can’t stop staring at it!!

Amazing job, and the best colour IMHO.

It’s definitely getting there!

Just not sure on wheels now - I’m thinking maybe darker? Anthracite perhaps...

If you are of a certain age (which I am) darker wheels just look like you've lost your hub caps & you can see the rust below hehe

If you go for grey wheels get the outer edge diamond cut, it just gives the wheel a bit of interest I think

Or go for a bronze colour. Would go well with the blue body smile

That’s nice! I like that! I’m looking at getting a custom front grille made so these wheels would look a treat next to it if I go dark.

Just trying to work out the vintage of the car. About 1995?

It’s a 96 car.

Looks a bit different to how I acquired it ...

Looks amazing.

Do you have the missing bit out the front too?

Great job, looks amazing in this new colour?

What colour is the interior? Light or dark?

Regarding the wheels, in my opinion the standards wheels suit the car‘s cool body very well that there is no need for to much blimblim with the wheels.
