Do you know the paint code? It'll be on the white sticker stuck inside the service manual and the one stuck inside the boot of the car.

Could this be it?

Pearl metallic grey

thai-wronghorse - its similar to the first one only its much darker than that! Unless the sun hits the paint it looks black, but then you can tell its grey! And the logbook says grey too!

Cheers, Mike

I dont know shady lol! Sorry yes the vento front end is going on, but its going to be a very different looking beast when its finished!! Sort of euro/OEM but with a slight rat twist!

So... You like the rare colour... But you're going to rat it?

Haha no im not going to 'rat' it, i said slight rat twist. The body colour will stay the same with the exception of the bonnet and roof! But mostly the influences will be euro.
A few unique styling touches will be applied but all will be revealed in a couple of weeks time :D

Cheers, Mike
