Got too drive my new aero today after a long wait.  I heard about your car when I got to Shelsley yesterday up in the top field. I went down to the paddock and I couldn't see any other Mogs parked there as all I could see was your stunning Aero! I was in shock first of all but then I've realised how stunning that colour is - brave choice to have the vison but wow - what a gorgeous colour! What colour is that? Lovely car, that is a complete head turner. I wonder how much server space will get taken up around the world with people taking photos of it very few seconds when it's out and about?

At least if you're ever unfortunate enough to have a bump, the "sorry mate didn't see you" excuse won't stand up!
Outrageous colour for an outrageous car.....love it......

Cheers guys
The colours Kawasaki Golden Blazed Green and obviously black. The dealer and factory laughed when I gave them the spec. Originally the black was going to be a wrap but the boys in paint decide they could paint the black and what a excellent job they've done. If you run your figure over the pinstrip you can't feel the difference.
So big thanks to the boys in paint.
I was asked twice within 20 minutes of parking up how much 2 tone paint was by people with aeros on order.
I think this is where MMC let themselves down at times as they don't use half of the skills the guys and girls have. My view they should show these skills off more especially for the show cars.
My view the aero is an outrageous car to start with so paint it to bring this out. I still can't get over the bland choice of colours the dealers pick for the demo cars

Fabulous looking Aero, you need to master packing that hood though John. You won't always have the MMC senior management team to help you.  I'm not sure If they were an aid or an hindrance

Had a practice and on my own I can manage getting the hood up in just on 3 minutes which I'm confident can be improved on. With  help its took 8 minutes 45 seconds. I think this will improve if she's getting wet

John,
what a stunner..
Couldn't agree more about the bland, traditional colors many dealers have chosen.
Your black and "outrageous" combination should be a stranded option: I'd love to see it with a bright pearlescent yellow...!!
Enjoy!

Everyone mentions the safe colours the dealers have chosen but then they have to easily sell them on!
