Love how brave people are when they dont need to sign in and be accountable.

The blue on the doors looks like a really good colour, I think she'll come up trumps!!!

Its called PPG Galaxy Blue! Dare i say it - its a Toyota colour! Look at the new RAV4's and Corolla's, slightly lighter than the blue they come out with!

How much have i spent on my car - all up, or simply on motor and ancillaries??

I dont mind answering either!

In total (i have receipts for everything) i have spent just over $15 100 with a further $5000 planned!

The list is quite extensive though
