Was about to... Then walked outside with the camera, decided it was way too cold to get the Mini out of the garage so went back inside to the fireplace and to finish my cup of coffee. :wink:

Ok you win.. Truth was I really didn't want to show anyone what a mess my back yard is. I've been WAY to slack at home.

I got some more photo's in the dwindling light so they aren't the best.

And she still hasn't been buffed and polished.. Waiting for new number plates too (re-made, same number, same black and white).

Just go to a BMW dealership - they have 37 different shades of grey. Having said that, I own three metallic grey cars. The colour wasn't my choice, just what was available when I wanted to buy a car.

Before (a fairly accurate rendition of the colour)

After (shaded and a bit dusty)
Image

A white roof looks pretty good with a grey car (that's reflected sunlight in the second photo, the roof is still grey).
