Tarts Handbagging an Indus Silver Puma
Indus Silver is a good safe colour but, to my mind, is a little dull especially after my TD5 Tomb Raider. So I have been considering tarting it up a little.

I'm currently considering a black roof and swapping out the dual finish alloys for black sawtooths. Opinions and views welcome, for example, would Barolo Black be worth the additional effort over Santorini Black? Also it will be traveling to Spain this year so I guess I would have to accept the extra heat soak from the black roof?

Black wheels help, as does a bit of black cp. Have thought about black roof and arches on mine, but like you concerned about the heat.

Barolo black is a fantastic colour and easily my favourite in the current line up, but, its more of a very dark metallic brown/maroon sort of colour, very nearly black,. so having said that if you want black, go for Santorini black, much more of a black black if you get my meaning Confused

Thanks BuckBlue Santorini black it will be
BPman, no wrap places in Jersey unfortunately. I'm intrigued by the thought of powder coating the dual finish alloys, perhaps a bit nervous about losing the dual finish bit.... don't suppose you have any pics?

Lovely looking DC! You could still go for the black roof too Whistle Strong people are harder to kill and generally more useful!

Andy,

Just wondering about your Aerial at the front - is that an FM aerial - if so where did you buy it?
