Silver paint, only use I have ever found for it is if whole car is painted silver and there is stone chip, it seems to be always too screaming colour, like pink, you can't use pink for anything without spoiling it.

It's not really acurate though in a generous way, as the smaller tyre profile throws the speedo out :lol:

Yeah, I'm the same lol. I had the B19 showing 120/125 a fair bit. IIRC the numbers run out on the Smiths clocks at 110. :lol:
Makes for good pics, but as you say, it's cheating a bit. Can't wait to attempt to snap the needle with FI and bigger profile tyres. :lol:

Nice pic btw, I know how hard it is to keep a cam lined up/steady at 100 mph+ in the dark lol.
