Aye, it was another fun day messing with cars over in Bingley. Thanks for all your help and advice once again, the car looks amazing!

Love it. Colour is great. A nice job done there too. Good work Chris.

That colour looks soooo good on the vRS well done on a nice detail, you've just got to try and keep it that way!

[vrsCR]

Looks amazing, but, is the camera struggling with the green?

Thanks! That's the plan! I've not seen you, or the wife, charging through Read recently.  Have the speed traps finally got her again?!

Possibly. Camera is a very good one, but I still wouldn't say it captures the vibrancy of Rallye Green, especially on an overcast, dull day like it is everyday in Yorkshire was today.

I always liked the green ever since I saw it unexpectedly while out driving. Distinctive and funky. Looks absolutely FAB.

[vrsCR]

Ok good, cant wait for my green hatch but would be a tad disappointed if it was slightly dull. What did you use to apply the superfoam?

[littleade]

+1 on the colour. So much different in the flesh. Looks like they've improved the design of the fuel filter too?

I had flash turned off. With hindsight, that was probably stupid.

Cant wait to see more pics!!

Haha, the Mrs has been very careful lately, I've told her to keep an eye out for your 'Bird of Prey' as will I.

Excellent guys, the duller colours just do not suit the VRS , this is much more like it.
