Cheers - yes, it's quite a sharp colour.

The bird cr@p has gone and I decided to do the wheels on the Mini instead of my car (saved that for tomorrow). All wheels takenl off, cleaned and then polished with Swissvax Autobahn which is a PTFE wheel polish meaning nothing sticks to them. I did the calipers too so any brake dust will simply fall off when jetwashed. Took me 4 hours - the last two wheels I had to do with a torch.

Hats off Andy, that is commitment, i bet the colour of the Mini really shines after a good detail being a bold metallic colour.

Don't know that one!! In the olden days there was Chiaro, TDF, Sera, and vaious Azurros! Now I suppose they will come in every possibly shade and hue. That does look good though!

i have some pics of a Blue Abu Dhabi 16M, you have to see this colour in the flesh, from some angles it looks like a dark aquamarine colour.

I'm glad you posted those Adam...
I have been toying with the idea of the green/white/red stripe on the bonnet of Florence for Le Mans this year (along with a few other decals),
but I am not sure I like that...
surprise, surprise...for me it's Yellow, White then the blue on those!
agree the stripe on the white one looks the business...so does the black on yellow :D
