Black opal? My last one was also black opal and it was a gorgeous colour, when the sun hits the paint, the colours can be incredible. I had green and purple flecks coming through. Responds really well to a good detail, clay/polish/wax.

Mistaken sorry. The two colours are very close then! I think yours is darker than the black opal, since that was really a more metallic dark blue with metallic turquoise, green and sometimes purple fleck. But that was only in the sun, most of the time it looked al,out exactly like yours above!

Anyway, nice ride, wheels look ace.

No, the tint was installed by the previous owner, but if they didn't, I would. It'll cost around $200-300 depends on the grade of the tint.

Nice... No I put the wheels on after I bought it.. The car looks really nice, just needed a sportier edge, I thought the black gave it that.. I only went with 19's.. 8.5" front and 9.5" on the back..

By the way, Tuff Stuff is an excellent leather cleaner. Took out 90% of the grime the seats had.

Now if only I could find a way to get the seat belts clean.

Up at the sailing club today working on the balcony, and after the torrential afternoon downpour, decided whilst it was quiet to get some photos on my iPad.
