Hi thanks for comments. Yes I am a painter by trade. Had a lot of people say they like the Matt blue this week it makes a change from Matt black. I did my friends e46 BMW 330 in the m3 frozen grey Matt colour that looks nice too.

Looki g good mate,not a fan of the wheels I'd get yourself on the Facebook page wheel trader uk. There's 100's on there. I'm a painter aswell by trade it's very handy aint it lol?

I think a nice bright center and polish lipid alloy would look immense.

What's going down with the iPhone cut out bit mate?
