Maybe a pearl black from audi? With some chroms I think it will look great

My least favorite is that Mustard color. How about Indigo Blue. Maybe with white or silver stripes? Just an idea. I'm enjoying your build(s)

Irfans MX250 probably blue, with white stripes a la le mans style
with my, I can not yet decide it.
Let's see what comes.

maybe an old fashioned metallic gold would be better?

Dark green for me but then I would say that...

:wink: NOOOOOO! Not blue with double white stripes, that's what I was planning

Today I'm still have installed new brakes and pads around, then the wheels could be mounted. I love it:icon_razz:
7.5x16 back space25mm with 205/50- 16
9.0x16 backspace 20 with 245/45-16
It looks good but I still need 30mm spacer. (rear)
The front axle must still 20mm lower.

Next week, more filling and sanding.:spit: :spit: :doh:

HI Chris,
the gold looks very old school,:nod:
Not bad, and in the doors, it would be easy to paint.
But I'm not still not sure
Hammy 27 Mar 2013, 4:32pm
I'm intrigued to know what all the green is on the bodywork at the moment....

The simple solution for windshield wipers
I did not want the Land Rover adapter.
The wipers are very small and the cleaned area is too small.

I have the original wiper extended by 40mm.
On the bottom I have been tightened with 80nm. (1 drop of Loctite)
The top I have pointed
The wipers I tightened with a M8x20mm screw and spring washer.
that's it




Where did you get the 40mm extensions?

If you Google coupling nut you will find plenty of sources.
Hammy 27 Mar 2013, 8:24pm
Thanks both of you
