I hadnt considered painting it at all....but probably will now, thanks.
Just think it completes the car..if you see if side on, it has these lovely sides and rear then an almost stock front end...but I must admit, I dont want to go too low, theres a lot of nasty bumps around here and dont want to go grounding her every five minutes.
thanks for all your comments and thoughts, and yep the car was on Pistonheads a while back.
If I make a decision I will repost some pics, but for the moment its just an idea.
