That is a very nice 131 effe. How long have you owned the car? Apart from paint is it pretty much original?

Thanks for the photos Michele - Great to see them the job in progress.? Smiley

The end result looks fantastic - The car is very fresh and desirable looking now.

Two questions:

What type of paint and colour did you paint the bumpers with?

What type of paint and colour did you paint the wheels with?

hello kev ... you tell the coach has used the same shade of gray (slate) and the circles (which are now more akin to racing) and i put both the bumper and side bumpers originally ... not the fiat provided the components painted plastic but I was ruined and then I chose to paint it and the result I liked a lot!
you like ?!??!?
