What colour are you thinking for the two tone Mike? I can't do it before the meet, My S8's at A8 Parts for the next couple of days getting a few goodies installed, otherwise I would have.
Will seriously think about it in the next couple of months though, call me boring, but I want a nice shade of blue..

Hmm, can't imagine it cream lower or upper. Will have to wait and see what it looks like, make sure you do a photoshop or similar before you give them the go ahead to do the work! I'm picking her up Friday late afternoon/evening, will be back there again soon no doubt. It was amazing at A8 Parts, the wood on Ians old S8 was goregeous. Also saw Olis old 3.7 QS albeit without a front end or engine!

I like the idea of black. The good thing with a wrap is if it dont work you can change it easier. Will photochop it tho first

That's awesome!

I'm currently in discussions with a company that will perform a vinyl wrap, either full car or parts.

Stay tuned )

Skidded across a roundabout and through metal posts into the water. There was something wrong with the brakes according to the manager's statement. Yeah right!
