That actually looks like a metal finish on a car, the first time a 'metalic' colour has ever done so for my eyes!

I agree with vanny, looks like perfectly clean and polished titanium, someone obviously takes alot more care of their car than me!

Some updated photos of mine outside in the cold today:

She started up for the first time in about half a year today, i put in a set of clean bog standard plugs out of a corsa we used to own and she purred like a kitten. Ok thats an exageration, it took a lot of tickling of the throttle and a bit of time to warm up but once warm it ran well enough for me to take her for a spin up the road. I like going this long between driving her, i always forget just how fast she is :P

How well does that intercooler fit! looks awesome. Im interested to know how you got around the fuelling? It looks like the super charger draws through the air flow meter, are you still running the stock ECU?

Had to take a picture of the clean engine bay before it gets dirty again.

Got the 16v out on a nice day. Not driven for a few months, so it was good to remind myself how nice it is to drive on the long and winding road.

What it looked like in its early life :D The sunroof was a painted outline :shock:
