Congratulations! I presume you mean the dark grey Centennial with 18,000 miles on it?

Well done! That's an extremely lovely looking car. The ceramic coating will make it even more of a joy to wash. You'll be amazed how the dirt just falls off. Will you get that oh-so-vulnerable front bumper PPF wrapped as well?

Thanks. Got them to throw the ceramic in as the paint was a bit flat (assuming due to the car cover the previous owner purchased) Will look into PPF, heard about it a lot but not seen any costs ?

Getting the lower front bumper of my Vantage done was £300. Dub Customs did it. 3k miles later it's still free of stone chips, which for a part of the car just 100m above the ground is pretty good, I reckon. It's probably a bit more expensive than getting a bigger area re-painted, but at least this way my OCD doesn't get all agitated about the stone chips.

The Stradale cetennial at TH was actually listed in Pistonheads as a private sale. I even spoke to the owner, bad timing as I only just bough mine. Interesting there were no other interests at the time, maybe this shows that it is easier to sell these cars through a dealer - you get warranty & finance...etc. I also sold my 2009 GTS via TH as well.

Congratulations Oliver, lovely looking car, love the colour! Interesting how you mentioned the colour looked flat ? It looks great in the photos! Looking forward to see it in the next meet!

Sounds like that’s the way to go , cheers for the heads up.

Thanks. TBH I initially glanced over as I wasn’t sure of the dealer. I think when the value goes up then it’s worth putting it to a dealer to sell, partly the offer of finance although no reason why you couldn’t get finance direct. Mainly just some reassurance.

When I say flat I mean the lacquer has gone flat. Lost a lot of shine. A good detail , or in this case a ceramic will sort it out. Colour itself is lush. Cheers

Couldn’t agree more, such a beautiful colour! What do you think of these centennial wheels with red accents?
