The kids these days are wrapping their cars in Matt vinyl to save the paint work underneath.

According to Shady, like mine there is nothing to save.

If you're really demotivated and can't be bothered, do something really fun and different with it  :smug:

But for the purest engine experience, displacement has no replacement. All other methods are simply attempts to artificially recreate the benefits of displacement.

Okay Wayne, you've made your point but I'm not taking your opinion on board. :afro:

I'm not sure what satin grey would look like on a Mk3 but I was thinking that if you change the colour of the car, surely I need to notify the DVLA? Unless I did it grey?

I'm not sure on Matt black...

I liked the Matt red one from that video of the car being washed the other day.

NATO green is a bit rat look on mk3s.

Blue looks good though;

You'll fall back in love with it when the polished rims are back on. If it were me i'd wait until the rims are back on and take it from there; if your still not sure about the car then definately satin black it  :evil:
