I was seriously considering fitting a set of Mondials when I bought her but the Comets won me over
Your motor above is a minter, wouldn't mind a black one!
It Was, I bought her in Nov 2011 she never let me down in 4 and half years, rare I know of course had a few niggly things that needed sorting in that time but, nothing that took it off the roadThey are my favourite too, biased like

then in 2016, some dickhead drove out of an office car park into the NS of it as I passing, taking out the wing, door, and badly damaged the sill, was still driveable, in fact I drove home and
to work the next day, where it stayed, ins wrote it off unfortunately I had nowhere to keep it or I would have kept it (I could have for £400) sadly I don't have off road parking so wasn't to be,
wasn't too bad financially I paid £3.5k in 2011 and ins paid out £3k, it was more the annoyance factor, can't afford another one at present but, one day
PS it was Oxford Blue

A damn shame stupid ****s like that shouldn't be on the road.
Oxford is a nice colour, such a deep blue it looks almost black in the pic!
Love it.

Excuses eh! tosspot! I bet his fukarse was wrecked!
Thanks Mine is Monte Carlo Blue which was offered for the 2000-1 model years it is a BMW colour it is very similar to Estoril blue, quite rare very much a marmite colour which might be the reason for its rarity!
It is Micatalic and it changes colours depending on the sun exposure.
Dark or light silver'ish blue
The pictures flatter her to be fair, she got a fair bit of abuse from the chap I bought her from and as such has dents and scratches adorning almost every panel
Needs a respray but i'm refraining until I get her mechanically 100%
Polish helps
