one from across the pond

no new news - the Camaro is now going to be hibernating for a few months (thereby hopefully avoiding the shitty weather and salty roads) :(

Another small update...

For most of this year and last I'd had an idea to replace the black wheels with something bigger and, well, less black. I appreciate that black seems quite 'on trend' at the moment, but I've disliked them from the moment I saw the car. Armed with permission from SWMBO (She Who Must Be Obeyed) to go and splurge in the end I decided that I couldn't justify the extra cost given:
A - the state of the £/$ exchange rate
B - potentially far higher costs thanks to this year's bogeyman, CV19 (transport for US parts to the UK seems to have become rather unpleasant)
C - possible fitment issues (apparently the SS is quite sensitive to aftermarket rims)

So I booked in a session with a local specialist to have them powder-coated. Man, who knew that choosing a colour could be that bloody hard (the colours I wanted I wasn't able to get a paint code for - pics were no good because different angles, obviously, give different shade).

All that being said I'm properly pleased with the results - they really look good in sunlight, not that we've had much these last few days!

That is a very nice gun metal color you picked, good job!
