Jon Golding does top work - top prices mind you but top work! Besides he's an English Bull Terrier lover so he's alright by me :)

You nearly painted it silver anyway! :p


Silver, Matt Black, Pink...what does it matter, its only paint?

Can I have it Kit Kat brown?

Anyways....I got the bill for import duty and VAT today on the wheels.

£255 and 55 pence which is less than I was expecting tbh.

So total wheel cost door to door £1498.

Then there's the tyres of course....

Yes he is , known Jon for years and years , used to supply some parts to him many years ago . He recently lost his dog , which truly gutted him .

Very sorry to hear that - my own English is on borrowed time now as he has congestive heart disease aged 11 :(

The car is back from paint.....I've had the email pics.....

O M G - is all I can say - looks incredible
18 Mar 2016, 7:26pm
Can we see the pics please?

Teaser only!





Work has started on the first alloy mouth but they need the car back to finish it, then we're on to bumpers......

HOLY CRAP!
You can see for miles
Well done mate, I'm so jealous

I know - it's ridiculous! Just imagine that with all the chrome work and wires.

I'm actually slightly worried it'll be too much...but very excited now we're on the home straight.

I just won't be able to park it anywhere, ever lol!

Don't worry Scott. Chrome and black are a great combination, not that I'm in biased in the slightest way of course!

Replete with "Superleggera" scripts I see!

Alas they were removed for the respray.

Replace them? Yay or Nay?
20 Mar 2016, 6:44pm
Definitely replace them, they look too good not to.
20 Mar 2016, 7:35pm
Yes definitely replace! They broke into pieces when we tried to remove them before paint.

Your neighbour looks perplexed, have you swapped her fiesta for your Z300s or is see looking out for ships?

Not the neighbour, the long suffering MrsWCA asking herself "Now he has finished that, what next?"

The answer was the short nose bonnet

Yes indeed! It will be at Stoneleigh and it's gonna look amazing - you wait til you see the finish. It's totally stunning, absolutely stunning.

Bit of a problem with the number plates - when they're offered up against the car, it's so black they're looking grey against it!
23 Mar 2016, 6:29pm
Nice shade of black - looks like "LTI Black" that always has that deep reflective finish
24 Mar 2016, 8:00am
When is a black number plate not black?

24 Mar 2016, 9:07pm
OOH I LOVE RIDDLES ....Is it when its illegally spaced ? :-) :-)
24 Mar 2016, 9:51pm
Good plate though :)
