Re: bens panther black frst
I like panther black looks amazing when polished. My bros got an ST200 in panther black and looks the bollox, but then again hes just had it resprayed (laquer was peeling) only other black that looks as good is BMW cosmos black. Good work so far, only hope mine goes this well when I get round to it
