Cheers. I know it needs a drop but the insurance company will bend me over but it pains me to give them what I do. :ashamed:

I got re-instated :happy2:

The pics look good,  in your opinion is it the same or slighly darker than the steel grey of the car. My alloys badly need refurbed and my local place give you old set to drive round in while yours get done. I am tempted. after i get those blinds mind :grin:

Hedge, if you don't want to stand out, how about Vulcan camouflage? You've already got the grey base colour :evilgrin:

Greenlight will insure you like-for-like with ALL your mods and without bending you over a barrel.

Hmm, if the price is low enough I might get those powdercoat peeps in Basingstoke (closer than Wolverhampton) to make my Monza 17's black and then immediately sell them - They'd be more attractive to someone I reckon.

Now Vuclan colours would be cool. As for Greenlight I spoke to them and Brentacre both of which were more expensive than my Chris Knott renewal which was £110 more than I was quoted by Adrian Flux.

So in the end Chris Knott price matched AF and nothing changed.

^^^ Almost the same as me, AF where cheaper than my Chris Knott renewal but they wouldn't match it so I am now with AF.

Hedge - All you'd have to do is apply some random vinyl patches in the appropriate green over your grey et voila! Cammo a la Vulcan!!
