They call it bbm, bright blue metallic?
I can understand travelling for a rally as there not exactly common!
I currently have 2 grey cars, the Leon in my sig and a new touran in nimbus grey, I am a fan of grey cars, but open to change.

Gl 4+e is perfect for a conversion though .. especially if it's a late spec in good condition :) Get a mk3 16v donor car, stick in fuel tank, lines, engine attached to 4+e 'box and upgrade front brakes and you're onto a winner. My mates abf sees high 40s mpg on motorway runs on a 4+e 'box and it's got lovely long ratios for 2nd and 3rd.

Sounds like a good plan, but I'm after something that I can just get in and go, not really wanting to do engine swaps tbh.

Yeah thought about a valver as the insurance is only £20 more, but there even harder to find :(

You might get lucky just broaden the search to include 16vers
