    The monogram paints are tricky, not from a technique viewpoint as I have no expertise in that department, but in tems of cost.

    There has been talk of some paints costing £500+ per litre, making relatively small Jobs hideously expensive to complete.

    You maybe need to make some enquiries with your local painter and also on the other MGR sites to find someone who may be able to help.

    I talked to Tony on this. I think the best and possible cheapest route would be to find a donor chromatic car. If you plan to have it a while wait for a crashed one, or possibly a high mileage bit battered one and swap the bits.

    Life with a 260 would be a lot harder without the Two-Sixties forum / group

    The shelf will be marked where you need to cut and is easy with a sharp Stanley knife. You'll then need to areldite the mounting points onto the shelf and bob's you're uncle.

    I had to do that as the shelf I got with my blind was the wrong colour.
