Thanks for the welcome thearrow and Paul. I've had rockauto.com and a few others in both UK and US bookmarked for some time now as I discovered the 2nd day I owned the car that Ford Australia were useless when it came to the Cougar (and with the Escort too).

I dunno about a full respray as Spruce Green is a good colour and doesn't show the road grime.

I do like the spruce green as it gives the car that formal look without being bland, but it's not me.

Our local dirt is red and shows up on the spruce green easily. It looks terrible even after a few days of being hidden in the workshop with the red dust that lands on it from the local farmers ploughing up the ground. Has to be washed whether it's used or not every week.

The only colour that doesn't look dirty here is red. The red Pajero wagon family mover/shopping trolley can go months without a bath and not look that dirty. Not fond of red cars though.

I have a thing for yellow . Both my other 'toy' cars are yellow too.
