    Its a 450 banger, with chrome arches. If it was a nice clean low miler then i wouldn't touch it.

    Got some XJR wheels to go on too.

    Having said all this, i will de-chrome it first and decide then whether black is a 100% yes

    Yer just a basic, No Sovereign or anything.

    Has a special upgrade. When you start it every morning it releases a blue cloud out the exhaust to let you know it's running, which I thought was a nice touch.

    dont mat black it unless its done properly, itll look terrible even if it is a shitter.

    it would look good in gloss black all bling though and leave the chrome, would look quite good against the black

    Dont matt black it. Seems to have been done to death, and imo will look a bit shite.

    BUT its your car after all

    Come on Clive, there is a difference.

    Im not taking a decent car and making it look shitty. Would you drive round in a jag with chrome arches? (I am not taking them off, god knows what it will reveal)

    The cars already shitty, and there isn't any chance of me spending money improving it. Was on a recent Paris to Barcelona charity rally and there was one there and it did look quite good. Granted it was painted well

    Matt black paint only cost me £10 for 8 cans

    At the very least the chrome is going, Ill do that first and then put some pictures up, besides 8 cans wont be enough for the whole car.

    My Goal: Phil mitchell + MadMax

    Take the chrome arches off, if it looks shite underneath, put them back on...

    Matt black is well overdone and will look gash. If you're going to do it, at least matt brown it or something a bit more original.

    We owned one of these for a while, they're much good fun. We did a PPC autotest in ours

    Doing autotest in a barge with Ride of the Valkeries blasting out of the wood panelling FTW

    Matt Brown?

    I gotta be honest, Im not too imaginative so Black was all that crossed my mind

    Got me thinking now..........

    However the idea of not spending money on it, is slowly deminishing

    You can get all sorts of different colours dude - I have battleship grey, powder blue and baby pink in my garage at the moment - all matt.

    I'd quite like to see it in matt brown, like a nod to the 70s
