A blacker black?
I mean a really blacky black with extra black..
An Inky black with some super inky blackness mixed in to give that extra black black?

I did think about the blacky black with extra black..
An Inky black with some super inky blackness mixed in to give that extra black black? However not for long Because the cleaning of such a black blacky black would be as soul destroying as the current black once a dust particle landed upon her



Sticky will love the new color



Do you know what it is yet

Cool

LOL, you getting it done in that colour in honour of Sticky's recently departed, dearly worshipped custard pie?? (Andy - have you really sold her/it or is it a wind-up?).
Always wanted a yellow car, just didn't want to stand out from the crowd too much .
Which shade you going for as there was one at NBO which looked great.

Its the really bright yellow yellow! very much like the one at the NBO.

The color that closley matches it is Trophy Yellow the MG shade if you know it,

Andy you really sold your her, or you just been a trickster ?
