OK so it doesn't look great in the pictures. Cold garage and a bit of condensation around (and I'm crap with a camera). Looks better in the flesh, honest! :D

I'll give another go when the weather warms up a bit; but it's a start. :oops:

BMW calls it “Frozen”. In Pondy’s world that means that you take a grey car and put on frozen wax :P
