Thanks guys. Car is still as it left Jaclyn's "office".  It's much better than I remembered from the test drive and than I expected.  I was grinning all the way up to Perth, then had to concentrate a bit harder through Glenshee, as it got a bit wetter and I was working out how well the Pirellis gripped.  This is the 1st black car I've ever had and was unsure about my choice, but I'm chuffed about your feedback. Thanks to Andy for the feedback and Jaclyn for the great service, plus making me feel part of the McAbarth clan ! |

Welcome great choice of colour. Never thought too much about it before but now I can place that air of menace that that I get when the throaty exhaust starts up.  |

It's now been fully washed, waxed then polished with AG Extra Gloss Protection, seats "balmed", exhaust polished and all surfaces cleaned (2 1/2 hrs  ), so Darth is super-shiney and waiting to be driven more. More photos to follow, when the sun's out  |

The remains of a tube of PEEK metal polish I found in my other car (left by the previous owner ) and then finished off with AG Metal Polish - very nice and relatively simply to make a major impact with. Photos when the rain eventually stops |

Upside : Only needs 10-15 mins to wash and chamois Downside : Needs washed weekly |
