Yep arguably one of THE best colours the car came with.

 

Looks good however IMO you've reduced the airflow two fold now.

 

Deep Burgundy indeed. I actually bought it as Berlina Black on an overcast day (dealer said it was a BB and it looked like it).

Was only the next day in some sunlight I realised that it was not BB at all!

Very happy with the "error", would of bought it knowing anyway but it's one of those colours. Looks Berlina at night or in non-direct sunlight but depending on the light it can look a deep red or bronze also.

I did a short and sweet youtube video showing the colour change depending on viewpoint. Excuse the audio swap, I got impatient going through the YouTube offered samples and this one beats the sound of my concentration breathing

I've not experienced any heat issues although someone who drives far more enthusiastically more of the time may do so.

 

did you cut holes in the bumper for the outer grills or are they just there for show?

 

Looks very nice mate! Very professional work it looks like!

 

At the moment no holes are cut, so functionality right now is show.

I do plan to though. Wanted to get the work done spray/smooth wise while I had time away from work where I could have the car off the road. Did not have time to get all the tools/materials to do the hole cutting and routing also.

I am undecided of whether to do brake cooling or redirect some air elsewhere, either back to the rad to reclaim some lost or perhaps something else.

 

Apologies for the thread resurrection. Sin - who did this 'bodywork work' please?

Cheers,

Hey jm,

Was done by Luis at Mont Felard Bodyworks. 01534 863185

He is usually pretty busy but can always get something booked in.

 

Love the headlight washers removal.. I need to do this, makes a big difference, front looks very smooth now!! Not keen on the placement of the number plate or the grills, but it's nice to have something different

 

I wonder if it would be possible and legal to 'spray' the numbers onto the grill that way your airflow wouldn't be restricted and your 'number plate' would be legal and off the 'nose' of the car?
