Technically not today. But got my car back from the body shop on Thursday after a full respray.
I opted for a couple of little changes. The eagle eyes among you might spot them.

Nicely debadged.
Regarding the coloured clocks, do all the warning lights show through correctly?
Wifey wants yellow but I’m not sure how well that would work?

Still a couple of more bits you have missed.
Regarding the gauges. Yes your remove the old back foils and replace. All the warning lights etc are all in exactly the same place.

I meant do the lights show through clearly? If you had yellow ones would the amber lights show up?

Hmmm I see what you are saying agains the yellow gauges. Obviously it shows against the blue just like black.
They are led bulbs so I think you would still clearly see them

I think the lack of front fogs, reflectors and badges gives the car a very clean 'understated' look. Very impressive

Looking lovely, are you tempted to PPF the front end now all brand new?

The cost of the ppf doesn’t really stack up. I get paintwork done at a very good price. 3/4 years time id just get a front end paint if it’s bad again.
