Looking great in the matt black!

Think that has cement my decision. I was torn between olive green and black but satin black it will be.

Thanks for sharing.

Re: G REBIRTH!!!

Would be nice if the photo upload process could re-size the photo - they are often huge and I have to use Ctrl - to fit them on the screen.

Any interior pics? Did you add/restore much there?
