The pictures hide the dinks and scratches that need sorting out but it cleans up OK. They were taken on the roof of the Peacocks multi storey last night, managed to get 30 minutes of sun before it went down.
I think the colour is called anthracite. It's sort of black but can look dark grey or even grey blue depending on the light.
I nearly bought an anthracite 180 hatch from an MG dealer some 7 years ago as my first port of call. It was requiring a couple of marks to be touched up, for some reason I didn't go through with it and ended up with the trophy blue saloon I have now, which was my preferred choice over 6 years ago!
