I almost mentioned gold in my previous post.
I recall a few years back it was the rage here. It was sold as being 24 carat, however it apparently was not the stuff buried around Perth.
It seemed that a few months later, the "gold" was tarnishing and then later flaking of the plastic - very sad for some, as they paid as if it was - well gold!
I seem to recall seeing on AURLO a picture of a pink FFRR a few years ago that one of your football players did up for his girlfriend - that would be the market. I thought it was Photoshop, but it was apparently real.
That's probably Stephen Ireland you're referring to. Check out his other cars if you get a chance too. He's spent many tens of thousands of pounds reducing the value of his cars by many tens of thousands I reckon. :D
Well, so far it's 2 fors, 2 againsts and me sitting on the fence.
The LAND part has to come off anyway, but I'm still not sure whether to bin the lot.......:(

I like the bling.
To put another fox in the henhouse what about modernising and putting Discovery on the front?
Mate don't bin it, I think because it's not straight, in your mind it doesn't look good, once you get them on the way you want, it will look great, besides you've done a great job so far.Quote:

I've been out looking at it again today, and it's started to grow on me. My second choice was a gloss black so that I could do a "black pack" version, so I painted up a couple of the old letters and blutacked them in place, and they looked cack.Quote:

Brushed titanium would look great.
I think it looks ok against the silver bonnet...so much hard work, don't bin it...
Well this arrived in the post today:Quote:

It is much bigger, heftier and more solid than the OE item. Will have a go at fitting it over the long weekend and report back.
