My Z passed her MOT today so decided to paint her stoppy bits, I wanted a purple so had to mix red and blue. The colour reminds me of Cadburys and i am very happy with the results.ImageImage

Please forgive me for the state of my wheels.

Thanks for the replies, subtle was exactly what I was after, I nipped out this morning to sort my exhaust as the back box bracket has broken so i think I will get rid of the box and go with stainless pipes, but the place I chose is shut Saturday and Sunday lol Doh nice drive anyway.
