Bought as a basket case, 3 year resto/mod, finished in 1999, and still evolving as we speak! All home built, narrowed beam, all the normal jazz!. The chromaflair paint was the new thing in 98, don't know if I love it now so much, but on a sunny day, it makes me smile!  Hey got the hang of the pic thing!   Photographing the paint effect is a mare!......you can see it with the eye, but the camera...he say NO!    |

Currently driving a 1972 BMW 1602 as my daily. Don't ask about previous cars - there have been way too many and I stopped counting at 160!

That's a real nice classic looking ride with a twist I think the chromaflair paint looks great on a car with curves  |

Wow. That looks awesome, especially on the steels. The paint looks fabulous.
If it was mine I'd get some chrome bumpers to give a bit more contrast.

I would have done the chrome bumper thing, But I would have had to pay for that, loads a dosh in 97, and they have been shortened and put up real close to the body fnt/rear for a nice 6mm gap , following the body line.
But...i agree, it was a money issue.
Shame cos they do nice s/steel ones now, I could have tigged up , but a lot of mods went in to getting them that close!.

The chromaflair makes it imo. Looks classy rather than tacky.
