i appreciate your a compomotive dealer but i agree with pon, better wheels out there if you wish to build one of the ultimate cosworths. BBS lm's would look superb, however this is a minor flaw and i guess at 200 mph wheel styles become pointless Looking forward to seeing it finished

I still reckon they should be silver, as that's the base colour of the car.

Different colours front to back Mike? What's the matter with you?

We'll have to wait and see, but I'm sure it'll be one of those "looks better in the flesh" sort of things...........

Shame about the 3 door getting repainted - it's never looked better, but I suppose company scheme has to be same all through.........

Thanks Rich, its amazing what cleaning a car can do for its looks



Wish he would have kept it the same colours, an inside and out 4 colour respray is going to be wallet chaffing!
