A lot of newer forum members ask about colour coding the RRS. I thought I would show off mine so that people can see how subtle and good colour coding the 'grey' plastic is: The first few pics were taken early 2009 showing her running 20'' wheels. The last 2 show her summer 2010 running standard HSE 19'' wheels

Yup...nice example Muff!! I too have tried to do a little colour coding - nothing too extreme, tried to keep it subtle, but I dont think with the Zermatt I will get away with doing the lower plastics like you can with Java. Will try to post an up to date pic tomorrow.

Now - Those houses I recognise....which will explain why I've seen an identical car to the pic's round my old stomping ground.....presume it's your missus I see though......either that or I should compliment you on your blonde locks...

White Cart for a beer???

LOL. You are spot on with the location and the current driver - me and the missus have swapped cars for the time being and the White Cart is my local. Go on then - reveal yerself then!  If you see a bandwagon - it's too late.....

Just a former southsider, but the office is in Thornliebank & pass through everyday. Anyone with an eye for a nice short plate can pick yours out - no matter how you try and scrub it! I think I've actually flashed you out of the WC car park a while back but you disappeared round the Crescent (reading that back - I think I am now wide open for a barrage of abuse!!)

Hey ho....best watch how I drive now.....

Yup - I remember you flashing me out. I have seen your reg number around the village a few times. Give me a shout next time your going to the WC and I'll try and pop in
cheers

IIRC factory built HST's have the lower doors and door spoilers painted body colour.................... whatever you do don't repaint the roof pillars body colour, looks naff but not as bad as doing the same thing to a FFRR, I saw an Overfinched FFRR in pearlescent White, fully colour coded yesterday and it looked awful 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it

Chris.

you are right, you have just the right amount colour coded, even if you painted the door trims, leave the rear bumper trim black, otherwise it looks a bit naff imho!
i have seen muffs, and his looks stunning, it really suits it,but only because it is in black.
