I know it's '80s, but those lights need smoking.

And the red brake calipers should be black too.

I see a red door and I want to paint it black,
No colours anymore; I want them to turn black...

Black. Black! BLACK!
Bloody hell thats exactly what i used to say in the 80's, everything black including a hand paint job on a transit

This (black) Manthay GT3 was at a Pistonheads meet I attended a week or so back.





Up close, it looked like a very serious piece of kit indeed.

I saw a satin black Bentley GT a while ago - complete with quilted black Alcantara upholstery.

Whilst very nice, I would suggest somewhat of 'their time' and in a year or so will look very dated.
