    Its a sad, sad day :-(

    Well, after months of work by myself, my smooth abarth project is leaving my hands. Due to problems with weather conditions, work commitments and stress with parents (due to the drive being used), i am getting quotes for the car to be sprayed and final preped at a garage.

    The car is around 80-90% ready, so hopefully will not cost over the moon, but there is a plus side to all of this....

    I now have a free choice of colour!

    I am thinking of going will a pearl paint, my favourite so far being heather and mikes punto.

    To all who do not know, the car has a full abarth kit, all smoothed in, with bump strips smoothed, skirts fully smoothed, tailgate smoothed, bonnet smoothed etc. Also has tipo wheels ready for painting!

    PIcs would be great, for other puntos in different colours and styles, really need some inspiration now

    cheers

    I'm not keen on the colour of Mike and Heather's car. I'd go for the Lambo colour!
