^^^^ All those rear hatch mech's you've modded Simon and your still rolling with a standard Mk5 one? (or is it an old pic)   :laugh:

Does look WAY better colour coded.  :happy2:

 :signLOL: i know i'm like a builder who does everyone elses house but not his own.

Ironically i rather like the silver - although some of my creations have had me thinking - contemplating a mk6 badge on it

^^^ get it done already!  :party:

I prefer my Silver one (over my Gloss Black one). For you and the OP, my Mk6 handle with painted Tornado Red colour coded backing.....
