Yes please!

I resprayed it last summer and despite it being the same basic, untinted, white, it's actually come out in 3 different colours of white! I foolishly thought that ordering the "basic" white would mean no pigments and it'd all come out the same.

Anyway, my attitude is certainly not "that'll do", but is lots of "cannot be arsed to do it again".

So it was a good lesson learning to spray - the main lesson being pay someone else.

Lots of pics of all the work I did on it here:

My daughter used to feel sorry for my YouTube videos. So I liked yours.

Great to see some old faces popping up.

Unsure if having just 1 like on a video is better than none.

It's hard to get decent "at speed" footage on the phones - so I've just bought a GoPro Max to play with.

Although I have just realised I can like my own videos. Excellent.

As kind of the last man standing, here at boatmad, a chap asked me about the source of my scoop at the weekend.

Bought from these guys : https://www.oldfordautos.co.uk/phdi/...cument&part=12

It is a small aero scoop and the guy that makes them is in Bracknell. You can see they come with the flange to bolt through, but on my install it's cut right down to be much lower profile.
