None are close to the original - "Gold"

I went with Blenheim Champaign (PCHL), the closest to 'Gold'. Once fitted and the original out of sight, you won't notice the difference as much haha. Make sure and ask for cuttings for the kickboards, they weren't included when I got the set. Very easy people to work with.

A couple of years back I also went with that one for enough to make up just some new front footwell pieces for mine (although older I think it is the same colour 'gold' originally?). They did look a little bit different at first but after a bit of time and use/abuse all seems perfectly acceptable now.

I think I went with the champagne.
Also don’t forget my initial problems with Coverdales, but they were good to deal with and all got sorted.

Storm Bert hit us hard whilst away at a wedding. Came home to mayhem.

Garage cover ripped out from ground anchors and crushed to bits, leaving car exposed. Day car next to it gouged to buggery - but not bothered.

Fab Neighbours tarped the excel body. Haven't seen the body yet as dark so not sure if any damage has occurred.

Send relief 40% proof, wrapped in 10s and 20s.

I might cry!

Bad timing re wedding. You've got great neighbours. Ours would've rubbed their hands and laughed.

Gotta blame the met office, or the government, for the poor weather warnings, many others are anyhow. But you are really lucky to have such good neighbours. They must like youπŸ‘

Bugger - and it was such a brilliant work space. I really hope the Excel is OK!

Sorry news, but on the bright side, at least it happened before the respray and you stayed above high tide.

Glad the SA got away relatively unscathed! I did find the foldaway garage rather cool though, might have a look for one
