Thank goodness for a response, I thought no one was going to bite biglaugh, I have seen a few blue ones, albeit very breifly as the rosso red ones whiz past them bounce LOLs.

I have just dropped it off, it'll be away for about 5 weeks, I wont know what to do with myself! eek

Getting the Griff back tonight, it's taken double the time, slightly bemused by the garage response, 'why do you need it back so soon', managed to keep a sense of humour, should have taken 4 weeks, it's week 8! I have the jitters about picking it up and checking it over, I haven't felt this good since I bought it 6 years ago, which i know is realy sad. Pics to follow once i am back from hols next week.

Dark red with anthracite wheels, I haven't done the interior apart from replacing the interior mats. I will post some pics this weekend, once I can work out how to do it. It has been worth the wait and it looks very, very good IMHO!
