Yeah fine when I asked her. Which reminds me - she didn't say much about the car because she was too flabbergasted. She wants me to pass on her thanks!

No probs, she sent us a message on FB!  :happy2:

Am I right in thinking that you had the inserts of the wheels done darker and just left the face silver Nath?



If so was it done at A1?

Ive been thinking about getting my Ultra inserts done in Satin Black of Dark Grey. It will make the spokes stand out more and also look bigger.

I had a play with the original photo. What do you think of it ?

Do you think A1 would do this for me?

....Wow! Amazing what a difference it makes and would make your silver car look particularly sleek I think.

Best speak to Nigel at A1 and send him your pic. 01902 871422  :happy2:

I love that look, do you have any real up close shots to show off the finish?

That's a great looking car and some nice subtle mods.  Top job.

My father also has a 3 door Pirelli in silver, totally stock though but only 12k miles from new..   :laugh:  not a bad car for a 76 yr old!  He got that to replace the mk5 R32 he ran before (which came after a mk4 R32 etc..!).  BTW his came from the factory with P Zero "Nero" rather than the "rosso" you've got on yours.

Very rare cars - I've only ever seen one other on the road since he bought his.

You're not the only one selling a Pirelli now - my old man emailed me yesterday to say he's put an order in for a new car to replace his Pirelli.   He'll have a 62 plate Edition 35 in his garage some time mid-september.  Lucky git!
