Won't look quite like you pic as they found a large barrel of black paint in Berlin a couple of months ago.

Well I hope so or it can go back too ! Didn`t like the black on the SM blue, but I do on the PBM.

Nah, sorry, but that black final drive just looks wrong.....it resembles an aftermarket bit in need of a top coat!

If yours is a new build it will definitely have a black engine and shaft. Must admit though that in the flesh it's OK.

Very much depends on the build date. I didn't see any in UK until Febuary so they would have been built late January.

My order has just gone in for a May delivery so will be black under carriage. Really don't mind it on this colour. Just didn't think it suited the blue.
