Keep them black mate. Look far better than any other colour, be discreet and not Max Poweresque.

no no ,ive got loadsa axle stands,needed to get right under for a total paint,there where extra concrete blocks at the rear out of shot,

note concrete blocks not breeze blocks,they are much heavier and denser then lightweight blocks.

its all technical stuff.

the reason being.my drive is a hill akle stands would slip,

im not that daft,kinda got used to the height of the car in a 4by4 soft roader kind of way,when she sat back on the ground,it was LOW!
