Its all the way through Barry, inside the doors and out. It's literally split down the middle in that colour.
 
That is one luscious looking motor ... just wow! Have to commend your vision, I wasn't imagining anything that good-looking even from the (excellent) mockup that Sarge did. Do enjoy it and don't wrap it up in cotton wool!
 
Looking great bold colour choice but all the hard work has paid off.

Thought about spraying the wheels white?

Lol, thanks Lynette, it is indeed.

Oooh that’s cool! How will you do that? Wrap or sprayed?
 
Looks absolutely stunning Sam,i think the wheels really suite the car just everything looks superb. I laughed out loud when you said the sunroof was jamming like Bob Marley. ? Brilliant job both of you!! ?
 
Looks fantastic Sam, well done and Congratulations on it! However if the front windows have been tinted don't be looking to come to London as the fuzz will be onto you.

Another thing, would White wheels not suit this colour car?

I had the option of getting these wheels in white, but I thought it would end up clashing with the roof unless the tones were bang on, which was impossible to know when purchasing them. Steve said white too though, so you’re not alone....bit dated IMO (sorry both :p)
In the flesh though, bc of the pearl, there’s a silver tone to the roof so I think it works as is.....
They may yet end up going the pearl white, if/ when I curb them lol ?

I noticed that myself .. I know it’s illegal but it looks so much better to tint all the side & rear windows .. when rears are just tinted it looks like a van ...

Same :)
Initially, when I’d decided on the white roof, I asked Steve to swap the clear glass out with the other one, but I really like the contrast now it’s back together.....Tricky one.
Will have to check the regs; my friend’s hubby is a coppa so he’ll know and be able to advise hopefully. ?
 
I could be wrong but, you'll find that the fronts are probably illegal (hope not!), they need to use a special light meter to test it to confirm if there is sufficient light coming through them.

I used to have tinted windows on my cars till they changed the law.

Yes Sarge but those are London coppers, we are dealing with South Wales Valley Police here. They've got better things to get on with :)

It's actually a very light tint that just looks darker because all the rest are limo black.

Changed over to the colour coded service flap. Much better in my opinion.
