Decided on a change in colour to baffle the old bill, I investigated metallic, Stig's Saleen colour, the TVR chameleon paints ....

I even give chase in my p1key truck to a car I thought had a nice paint job ... driver looked terrified and more than a little relieved I was asking about his car paint ..

Anyway after long thought the colour is ... you'll just have to wait a see boys .. but it will be sharp to help cut out the blurred effect as I come charging passed

PS I have some titanium engine parts being added just for a little Xtra shiiiiiiiiii factor

Ultima recommended Pauls Body Shop, they do the factory cars,
I checked out a few race car body shops, but they could not be bothered

I know the place, I spoke to them when I was considering doing the GTR. As you say, they've done most of the Ultimas so they should know their stuff!

I just need to make sure we don't both opt for the same colour now

My car has been in and out a few times and I can vouch for their workmanship.

I always wanted a blue metallic (Mercedes colour) paint job on the Ultima when I was first looking. That deep blue is quality
