OK, after a suitable amount of wankering about trying to get a couple of recalcitrant panels right, it was decided to consult a professional, Brad Henry & his LA Coachworks. The Red Menace in primer, along with another of Brad's masterpieces - also check the Sprite below.

Below is the result - The Red Menace on rollout and the other reason to consult a pro - the paint. Way too much pearl & metal in this stuff for our abilities - at least we admit it. We may be wankers, but we are not idiots.

For you purists who want to be offended, no it is not a BMW color, get over it.
