The standard car is shipped with everything black which makes the engine and exhausts the visual highlight against your desired body colour. No doubt Morgan designers spent hours days and months deciding on a neutral colour palette (black) so the front end so it doesn't look like a mess of engineering components. I'm sure they will be thrilled throwing in a bit of red and silver! The 'upgraded' Spax units are red, but as R1NGA says the first job most people would do is spray them black so they don't look like an afterthought to the car. PJB given it sounds like you haven't started making them yet then can I suggest you make the front ones black - the rear ones can be sky blue pink , but don't f&@k up the look of the car by not thinking about the aesthetics. Having to spend £1.572.25 is bad enough, but to then to get them in a colour that has no relation to how the car was originally designed is adding insult to financial injury. I suppose we should be grateful they are not blue and yellow!
