Very true what you're saying about Le Mans Blue not showing its "true" color on photos. Its such a nice color in real life.

I couldnt make up my mind about which color until I saw my Neighbours 330 in Le mans B.

Can't wait for mine to arrive. Only 3 months left

Congrats ! Its a beaut!

Great pics cheers!

Always such a funny colour Lem Mans blue, looks different to how I remember it in real life, I guess that's beauty of the colour!

Great tip about the control arms, small stuff like that irritates me as well!

I thought people like the natural color of the aluminum control arm rather than black one...

BTW, what is the Golf Tee?

it is my personal opinion that certain cars look better without the shadowline trim. the le mans blue is absoltely one of them.
