Black, because if it gets scratched, it can be touched up with a Wilkinsons £2 enamel.

That's a shame, I thought it was for drivers who aren't into cars like me; so long as it starts, moves along reasonably quickly and stops when required, I'm happy. I even use the drive through car wash. Can quite understand some make cars a life style, but not me.

Some few years ago I had a car from the firm. First day, I managed to reverse the thing into a fence post. This made a slight indentation and scratch on the pristine plastic bumper.....corrected by the judicious purchase and fitting of a GB badge. Good old Halfords!

Can I suggest that nobody else posts in this thread, and instead all conversations are continued in the other identically titled thread, after all, this thread was created in error.

Perhaps Admin can transfer all posts from this thread then delete/lock it?

What would be the point of doing that?
