Looks brilliant Shaun, who did your painting? Did you strip back to the gel coat?

The body was soda blasted under bonnet , inside boot and the whole underside. SMS did a lovely job of the paint work and cutting of the doors to get a fantastic fit

Beautiful.
I think the colour sets the car off very well, how did to come to choose it?

The car was painted as a sprint when I bought it .After checking I found it should have been blue but didn?t fancy it , I?ve always liked the old fiat 500 colours of the 60s so I had a spray out done but found it too light in the end I saw a modern Citroen in the colour I chose so when online to check Citroen colour schemes and ended up with the green I have today
