As it was a nice day today decided to give the car a quick clean and tried to get some pictures of the paint doing its thing.





The car is getting a paint correction in the next couple of months so the paintwork should look a lot better and give me a better idea of what needs to be done to get it looking as good as it deserves to be.

I know the car has just been washed in these pics but it helps show the flip in the camera better, looks 100 times better in person.

Me being me, ive made a fairly long list of bits that need sorting on the paintwork side, again im hoping some of these will be sorted with a machine polish (paint correction.) the rest will hopefully be sorted by me or at a bodyshop, in the coming months.





Any comment welcome as always.







Cheers,
Matt

have to say having seen it in the flesh on the weekend i am still really rather jealous of this car..... it really is amazing the flips in the colour that it has...

almost anthracite in some angles, to purple and orange and a hole host of combinations inbetween....

If you want to sell it (once you sorted the niggles) give me a shout ;) (might stop me looking at 260's :laugh:)

Hey matey! cheers for the comments, should be at PoL and Harrogate with it this year.
Yea this was the one, bought it through the .org though, and got the price down a fair bit too. AFAIK its the only ZS to come out of the factory in Dark Fantasy and 1 of 3 cars across the Mg-Rover range. (45 and 75.)
