rover amaranth pearl was gona have mine done in it but it never happen'd
so i used the paint and had me van done in it instead.

pic is a bit shit as its a cloudy day but when the sun comes out she's a good'un
never had a bad comment about it yet, oh apart from one bloke saying it looks great but not very proffesional turning up at someone's house like that expecting to do some work (plumbing)

but nor does it look good builders turniing up in old rusty d reg transits with padlocks bolted to the doors and also available in white written in the dirt.

Id leave it black mate, a PROPER colour change will cost you silly money, it really isnt worth the hassle IMO, plus yur losing the cars originality......

cheers mate it will be a proper colour change mate and it will only cost me the price of the paint mate as i paint car for living fella so there are good bits to the job and as for the cars originality mate a re-shelled it about one year ago because my last one was rotten and and the only good rs turbo shell i could get was a grey one and i hate grey so i painted it black but i am a picky git this is why i am doing it again
