Ultimately decided on the Arcs and a more standard look. Put her on the road this month after doing a little bit of fettling over the last weeks.

I’ll say it again, love the car, stunning colour, that last photo is a winner. TBO I prefer roof down cars, always have but seeing yours. It’s just the business. :thumbsup: plus I’ve always liked dark blue cars.
Now, Sterling grey Z4 2.2 with cup holders, stubby aerial and sport seats. Roadsters ‘cause they’re great with the roof down.
Ford Anglia, Red Sprite, a few MG midgets, MGB Roadster and yellow Ford Capri, all gone many years now.

Looks great on those Arcs, and the black and chrome kidneys definitely look better than the all black ones. :thumbsup:

I’ve been playing with the front grills as well. Wasn’t keen on the full Matt black.
Can’t decide between silver/chrome or black/chrome

I don't really like the silver/chrome ones. I swapped them for black/chrome on my Montego Blue Coupe and thought they looked much better!

Sorry Mr Tidy but I vote for the chrome - personally not a fan of black grills (so purely subjective) but also chrome ones pick up the Arcs nicely - btw lovely scratch itched Simon!

I think there is some confusion here!

I was voting for the black with chrome surrounds, rather than the silver with Chrome. All black just wouldn't look right with Interlagos paint.

Black think the chrome doesn’t really suit the car. Got gloss black on mine and had the same on the coupe :thumbsup:
