Full colour-coded silver in Inverleith, Edinburgh YD06XXX
From the high-rise inconvenience of a double-decker bus..
Not seen a silver one with full body-colouring on it before... thought it looked quite smart 2007 Porsche Boxster (987) 2.7

To be fair they were in the midst of loading it up with stuff
I think I prefer the un-painted A pillars.. ruins the black wrap-around effect of the windows, if you know what I mean.. 2007 Porsche Boxster (987) 2.7

not to my tastes, I would think with some 20" stormers on it might look ok, maybe does rather dilute the styling a bit, reminds me of an airfix kit before you've got around to painting it somehow?and theeeeennn......???

I like the idea of coloured mirrors, have thought of this for mine but brambles and towing mirrors will make a mess so I'll not bother - but the whole car in silver looks......well each to their own.
I am sure Ireland's answer to Westwood's 'pimp my D3' (BarryG) will enlighten us to the benefits of full colour code......at least black looks coolD4 HSE....Probably, but not quite decided yet.

I agree that full on paint job is questionable in silver. At least the A pillars should have been left. I was not aware that hairdressers could afford a D3 anyway

No excuse, zap the sod!!
It's an auotomatic 3 points on your license for stopping on zig zags!!

oh, and give him a bonus 3 points for his crimes against Discovery 3.I was a normal heterosexual chap, but in these new woke awakenings I now identify as a Wardrobe.
