thank you, I have defiantly learnt a lot with this car, black was due to be on this weekend but bad forecast meant I didn't bother getting paint, I have 6 weeks off In 1 week and the car will be 100% finished by the end of it, it's proper first drive out will be to the mot centre, in hope for a pass :)

Great looking car - would look really nice with the same yellow on the roof.

Swaying towards this idea now, :/ too hard to decide

I like them both, each makes the car look really different, still like the yellow though

well i sprayed it yellow and I'm really happy with how the car looks and the finish i got on the roof, also it is pretty much mot worthy now, i just need to go round checking all bolts and rubbers etc, but my first drive is in 1 month 7 days and i shall be driving to the Mot centre on that day for my very first drive out, so exciting

 i think you can say that, you were defiantly right.

 

thank you all for your wonderful comments, I'm glad you all like the roof, as i did go against the majority view for a black roof
