I've spotted a red one quote local, it's a 2003 but only got 32000 miles on the clock, up for £3200 but think I could get it for £3000, not usually keen on red but looks very smart

Check for overspray and make sure all panels are lined-up - if it's straight and there are no mechanical defects, go for it  Also check the underbody if you can - any accident damage usually shows-up on the underside!
One of the 180's I went to see in Cheltenham looked very good, but I could get my finger inside the gap between the door and B-post on one side!!!

Looks pretty tidy, I like you have never been a great fan of red cars, think its seeing what happens to ford red put me off big style, but since having a diablo red pug the colour has grown on me a lot. Even the firedance is growing on me as well. Think ive decided I dont like the boring dull resale colours and would rather something a bit different that stands out but isnt in your face at the same time.
You going to invest in a bonnet bra for this one?

I'm thinking of a red and black theme will look good, with full sp kit( arches, bonnet vent etc ) to really finish it off, then lower it slightly

Would save worrying about the stone chips though. 
Yer, they do look pretty good in silver, but it is a very dull colour, its resale silver all you ever see. You dont see many 180's around full stop. I think when it comes around to getting my next car I dont think ill be able to choose which colour, unless there's one with something that just makes it stand out from the rest going pick me, I think it will just be print out the adds of each colour and pick one out of a hat haha.

And I think next time I hit a road with stones on I'm not gonna give a fool about stone chips, it's either that or drive into a bush and I know which option I will choose next time! Lol
