Yours didn't have 23k miles on it and RNBP is much nicer than battleship primer ;-)

Definitely! I think any colour would be better than LBB...unless you're a woman driving it. It's ok then

Got to say though Floppy your old car was cheap. Someone did well given the kit on it. I would say 8500 is top end for an 04 but given the mileage probably about right. I paid £7400 for an 05 with 45k miles last October which I thought was cheap even though it is the quickest colour.

Good examples are fetching good money now, there's not many about either, there is still a lot of rubbish out there too. Peple will pay a premium for a good example.

Well the one I saw today certainly had paint/bubbling issues also the refinished wheels hadn't been done very well at all, I think the mechanics were good but he wants top money for a car that's just not worth top money!
