Happy happy happy and I make no apologies for all the pictures, just got my car back from a complete overhaul, after ten years of owning her I thought it was time to treat it to a change and a full overhaul so shes now back to brand new with a new colour... she was silver and now.... well shes different! :D

How she was when imported to the country

Shes come a long long way!
Pics are a bit crummy as its raining but LOVE it! :D

Perfect Blue :D .... if I didn't have the ultimate Super White ST205 then that colour would really tempt me. Just don't fit gold wheels otherwise it might get confused with a Subaru.

Did you do the engine bay as well?

Hahaha, GOD NO to the wheels! I really really don't want gold so have no fear!

I am however thinking about getting them Graphite grey, think that would look good?

I am glad others like it, I really really think it looks utterly stunning and worth every penny and second of waiting! :D

Thanks Sirius! Was a colour I chose as soon as I saw it on the Nissan quashqui thing and knew I had to have it.

However I didn't see any progress pics so today when I picked it up was the first time I had seen it and safe to say, love it! haha

The original image looks a bit like mine. loving the new colour, looks far more "GT-Fourish" now.

Definitely money well spent. Out of interest where did you get the work done?

hes a great bloke Paul, went above an beyond on the car so i can't complain at all! :)

Odd isn't it how small the country is, there is always someone who knows someone from somewhere! :D

Its an odd colour, when its not got direct sunlight you cant see the metalic and it looks dark blue / purple, when its direct light it looks awesome metalic, really happy with it though and the finish is superb, even stunning under the bonnet too.

Fully recommend him hes down the side of the car garage bit if you visit him as its off the road :)
