Hi Roy, Thanks for that. That job being so time consuming and hard work, I've never painted another car since!!
I was at a car show last week, mostly for the JOC, etc., but all makes of cars and bikes as well. There was a XJC 4.2 there that had had it's vinyl roof removed and it looked awful - you could see why the factory had so much trouble getting the roofline correct as I could see plainly it was 'not right'. Lead loading at the factory would probably have been too costly.
With my car, my first thought was to remove the vinyl and paint it (the whole car) a metallic light blue, but I'm glad I didn't after seeing that. At the time, I would have liked to change the front and rear to series 3 but way too expensive even using used parts.
Regards, John. (JJ.)
