I'm working on something similar to this, which I have just knocked up on Paint...

a little bit off-topic, Are your wing mirrors vinyl wrapped or painted black?

Love the V Alim. And I think that is the straw that broke the Camels back, want a V for mine, but I didn't want black, bright silver or CF... Anthracite is perfect :wub:

Ok, I'll try and keep it simple without riddles from now on. What I meant: I have wanted to get a 'V' for my VX, but didn't want a silver, carbon fibre or black one and therefore I have mananaged to resist. However having seen Alim's anthracite 'V' my ability to resist has gone. Is that a little better? chinky chinky

I too have a anthracite painted V , surround and wheels

however

the snow has played havoc with the surround, all the paint is flaking off :angry2: (V and wheel are fine)

for the vinyl junkies out there ....where can I get hold of some slightly metallic anthracite vinyl (ideally to match Ford Graphite grey)

cant be doing with rubbing all the flaking paint off, remasking and the 8 or so layers of paint and lacquer I applied last time.
