Looks all-white to me

(white does suit it - still thinking about white for my respray)

I wasnt sure at 1st, but then saw a Lexus with white Pearlescent and liked it
cost twice as much than just blowing over the original blue. But def looks better especially when sun is on it and can see differant shades

It rides ok, had to soften shocks up a small bit as ride was to hard with the lower profile tyres

That looks really good, was never sure on spiders on a Griff but the smoked colours mix very well with the white.

Top job

I've been driving past your house quite a lot to admire it (creepy!). Have a look in "spotteds" from last week.

Listen out for my rumble as I head to Tesco Express to get my lunch!!
