I beg pardon - my brain must be bad at colours too.
I could have sworn it was the same.
They are both nice anyway.
First one we played with was Sail Blue. Luvly.

Thats the thing, I much prefer a car higher at the rear.
As it is now it is a lovely car but has that sort of old man Rover 75 look
to it.

WHile in it's natural state, it's very beautiful, it's also rather (IMHO)
feminine. I like my cars (and bikes) to look like they could hurt. I have
a 1115 FFS

Seriously though, you'd be better getting a boot lid off a broken car than
drilling the one you have.

God that was just too chavy, as were the owners. They couldn't quite work
out why they weren't welcomed with open arms and hailed from the roof
tops

Nah - the haunches are fine as they are - just run your hand over the
rear of a well-polished 156 - with your eyes closed and a bit of
imagination, it could be J Lo.
