Has anyone any experience of matt colours in real life?
I'm tempted, for my next Morgan, but am concerned about cleaning, removal of scuffmarks etc.
Swisswax have a range of expensive cleaning products for matt finishes but I suspect they may be more used on concours cars.

The car looks great. What's an INOX handle? I did a Google image search but all I could find were things that looked like they fitted to domestic cupboards?

Swisswax have a range of expensive cleaning products for matt finishes but I suspect they may be more used on concours cars. The paint on my matte red car is more durable than I had been led to believe, but the biggest downside is that you cannot simply polish out small scratches and blemishes with a bit of T cut. I have had my front end, running boards and front of the rear wings covered in clear mat protection film to try and keep these areas looking good for a little longer. Time will tell if it is money well spent or not.

Lovely
I guess that the first photo is being used as your phone backdrop?
Are Morgan still not putting battens under the seats? And snagging on the bolt head? Battens would raise the seat too much. The bolts don't snag if correctly tightened.

Hello , here some pics from how to make the inner mudgards.
You start with an inner mudgard from AUDI Q3 front , cost around 65€ and it is in 2 parts , welded with plastik. If you separete them , you can use one part for the frontwing of the morgan and the other, the small one for the rear wing. The left Q3 part is on the Morgan to use on the right side . You can cut it easyly with an stanley nife. I made no new holes in the morgan , and use plastik straps to hold them on place .
