Just getting some of the parts refeshed. The wheels are in perfectly good nick, but thought that they (and the wing uprights) would look better in an accent colour to break up the black. Which do you guys prefer?

Black or anthracite (perhaps a little darker?)

I'm so tempted Stuart!! But the project here is to get it to as higher std as I can, prove it's credentials, get em filmed and shot and the put it on the market. I need resale colours. I love highlight contrasts, but it will have to have wider appeal!!!

This will be a bargain car for someone. But I'll spend what is needed to get it to the LuckyP quality std!!!

Probably another loss...but I'll have fun putting it together and at least doing a few track days!!!

Black wheels Pete, you know you prefer the dark side!!!!

Must say the Zonda R wheels are a nice colour too.. I think they are annodised rather than coated though

Why or why are you selling here though...Surely its a keeper!!

Well I think a dark anthracite might be in order. We'll see.

I haven't driven it yet mate, so all might change. But the idea, for now, is to get it finished, tested and if good, sold.
