You know when you've been Tango'd !!!! I shall have to remember my shades when I'm out and about in town!
Seriously though, I like and I bet it looks even better in the flesh.
Why have I never seen you two around town?

Alfie.

Wow, that looks fantastic, you must be really chuffed.
I'm really starting to consider that colour myself.

Just out interest, can you share how much your paint job cost and were you please with the quality?

Did you strip the body and have it painted separately or sprayed on the car?

thanks

Peter

Colour is Ford Focus ST Electric Orange.
Quality of job is good only a couple of small blemishes.
I stripped all panels from car and reasembled very carefully.
All panel prep and primer/painting done in 2 weeks.
Paintjob cost £2200 incl.
