    Theres loads :)
    Sunspot yellow I think it was thats similar to the Renault one

    But theres Chromoactive colours
    Kinetic colours and supermetallic colours

    Cant remember what belongs to what but here's some names
    Bittersweet, typhoon, shot silk and my mind is blank

    Not sure if the 'types' are entirely correct either.

    I saw on here that some people had to undo and some didnt

    I suppose it depends how high or whatever you have the car jacked up

    I'm ttying again in morning so I'll undo the shock and see how I get on
