Giraffe camo. Sweet.
There's three ways of doing things:

The right way,
The wrong way
And my way, which is like the wrong way but faster.

Welcome!

What's the spec of your Jimny? Is it purely for road, or are you going to offroad it?

Lol. Not from a safari park, rollered on some NATO sandy coloured paint, followed by red oxide from B&Q:-) Did it at work during lunchtime!
Here's a pic of my Jimny, will be doing some off roading once the novelty wears off a bit, it's too clean to knock about at the mo!
