My previous Z4 coupe and the Daimler Super V8 of a good friend at the pumps. We’d filled up the night before and then spent the subsequent day hooning on the mountain roads surrounding lake Como.

Drove for 194km that day. I filled up with 22 litres of SuperPlus. Anyone care to guess how much fuel the big cat took? It’s a supercharged, modified 440bhp V8 and weighs roughly the same as the mountains we drove over…
Four Alfa's and a Ducati later, I've turned to the dark side...

Barty that looks great. I see what you mean about the green being an almost 'jewel-like' in appearance.
Good photo too, the front wing gets a nice spot light on it...

Thanks Vijay, appreciate it! The increase in shine and reflection is a combination of factors: reduced orange peel because of sanding the various panels, reduced paint imperfections due to a three-stage polish, and a high-gloss top coat over the harder & more scratch-resistant base coat.

Result? Well I really like your “jewel-like” reference, sums it up nicely! We have a few videos on our business Instagram stories and highlights (@Corvoexclusive) demonstrating the shine under various angles.

It’s weird how much the look of a car can change during the process and how you really rediscover what you like most about it while you’re working on it :D

Your welcome. What's the plan on the interior 'wood'? I think piano black would add a nice contract to the cream...

Piano black would certainly stand out nicely against the cream interior. However… None of what you see will ultimately remain. The cream will make way for something a little different, and the trim will change accordingly. Stay tuned… :wink:

Took the car out for a spin after visiting the petrol station - couldn’t help myself!

Thought the blue hint is quite noticeable under the forecourt lights, so took a pic...
