Ignore the rust on the disc brakes the cars been sitting a while waiting to be fixed up. Black Grey Blue Purple Green Yellow Red Edited by Downside190, Mon Mar 30, 2009 6:06 pm.

W201 Junky Posts: 2,538 Group: Members Member #1,576 Joined: August 5, 2007	i was liking green tbh but i'm probably having a moment where you think its great then you come to your senses and think 'what a stupid idea' I reckon black looks to be the way forward.
