I'll never live that one down, will I? :blush:

The damage that I did may only have been 'small', but monogram colours are not cheap to patch up. The damage required that the rear bumper be replaced, plus it also needed a new offside bumper spat (part of the Mk2 bodykit). Since I was having work done on the car anyway and had paid for the full amount of the paint, I had the bonnet resprayed as well.

Its okay Ralph :console: everyone makes mistakes and it was only light anyway. More inconvinient than 'proper' damage. Think you did that shortly after I met you (Don't blame me for your bad misfortunes hey! LMAO)

I had no idea that you had the bonnet resprayed?! Blimey........I didn't notice that when I have stood looking at it........your bodyshop guys are brilliant!

Well...........I have been looking at yours and Ralphs car since day one in comparison.........

I think Typhoon and Twilight are in fact two different colours.

Typhoon has a 'blue' colour to it when taking into context the changability of the paint whereas Twilight has a 'purple' colour to it.

They are definately two different colours.

To see the difference replicate Ralphs piccys in the gallery on the EMS website........as long as you stand in the same direction of the photos the colour will show up as it is.......

see..........yours is blue..........Ralphs is purple.

Still a nice car though mate! Very jealous of you! :smile2:

I take it that judging by the cost of the paint per litre and the fact it needs to be applied with care by a very good professional you won't be in any rush to have the splitter and skirts colour coded?

does twilight only flip 2 colours?

as my car flips from blue, purple and green and if you catch it in a certain light it has a goldy brown sort of colour aswell:thumbsup:

blue, purple and a greenish colour but the 'base' colour when you look at it is more purple than blue.

Look at Ralphs avatar and you can see what I mean.

Yours definately has a blue 'base' to it

Look at your sig............and look at the rear colour of your car..........that darker purpley blue is how Ralphs car appears from a distance back.
