I would go for silver  Black is good as it doesnt show up dirt etc as much, but for that reason makes it harder to trace an oil leak if you get one. ________________________________________ Chris1999 China Gti6 Supercharged  [Fun car] >>Project Thread<<2000 Bianca 306 Diesel [Work runabout] |

Yes, as I say mine is painted black and I like it. I have the head and cam covers painted black as well so it blends in well.________________________________________ "Supercharged - 454.1bhp/317.5lb/ft"Peugeot 306 GTi-6 2000 (X), Moonstone |

I'll give you a clue. The 'B' is for British. Were A-series BRG or sage green left over from painting Spitfire interiors? ________________________________________ Cherry Rallye SOLD |

The colour compatibility is serious though. I might have missed a colour or two out of that list: if in doubt give my nan a ring on 0845 GRANDMA. No calls after 8pm please. |
