Black Gold Paintwork

[Scutch]

Took my car to the jetwash the other day when it was sunny (yes, sunny in Cumbria) and couldnt believe the gold effect in the paintwork. These pics dont do it justice, it was class! The bottom one is a pic I took opposite the chippy with the new Pro-Speed exhaust on!

Around £570 including silenced cat bypass. Its not overly loud, sounds great on acceleration and through the gears, and idling is just a sporty borble note.

It is a mare to keep clean yes, but when its polished and the sun hits it the rewards are superb!
