4th March 2000:

Finally some colour - the under bonnet area has been sprayed in gold and then the engine put back in. The intention was that the whole of the interior would have been sprayed gold by now, but once spraying started it soon became clear that this would not be practical. The gold paint does not cover well and it took much more than expected just to paint under the bonnet. But all the little nooks and crannies are gold!

As can be seen from this shot, the underneath of the wings has been sprayed in black stone chip. What cannot be seen is that this has also been done to the whole bottom of the car. But look closely at this shot and you can see that all the nooks and crannies of the engine compartment REALLY are gold.

The same standards are being applied inside. There will be a lot of metal on display inside the car, and all that shows will be gold. That which does not show will be painted black - the area behind the dash has been done first so the wiring loom can be inserted. The floor area will also be black as there will be carpet covering it, but all door shuts, sills, anything exposed, will all be gold.
