Cheers for the comments

I'm still not sure on the Dark shade anyway, I just wanted CH Style wheels, and these were the only option available without having to wait longer and for an unknown period.

I'll give them a bit longer to see how I feel, but I'll likely get them done Silver in the Summer...

(the Red Vectra above was the one that made me settle on CH Style wheels - it's awesome)

Got a couple of pics in Sunlight, not quite so dark, but still not 100% sure...

I've eaten away about half of the front Yellowstuffs it seems, in about 3000 miles...

May not have enough time to get them replaced beforehand. They'll be alright for the day anyway, it's only 2-3 weeks away


Brakes feel fine, but I'm pretty confident I'll get to over 130mph along the straight at Combe before having to scrub off a lot of speed in a short period. I've not tried doing that yet...

They look nice but I prefer the look of the standard 19s.

Wheels are starting to grow on me, but saying that, I'm still not 100% sold on the Black.

But, anyway, pikey copy BBS centres arrived this week, so got them on, and they help a little.

Got some more pics this afternoon;

Wasn't keen on the wheels at first, but every time I look at it I like it a little bit more.
Awesome car.

I think it has just gone up, as the online stuff comes back with them at £460?

I'm not fussed either way, mine isn't due til October, so plenty of time to save up/do abroad work.

Can't deny it looks great and I like the wheels...but I'm still not 100% convinced by the colour either. Not sure what would be better though.

There a nice wheel for sure but the colour does nothing for them at all! Need to be silver to suit imo, that silver lip makes them look even worse too, makes them look too small to me.

Do them silver and it'll be ace

Clip randomly broke on one of the Side repeaters this week, so ordered a new one which came the next day, and whacked that in.






Also, as the weather wasn't doing too badly today, I got on with a couple of little underbonnet tweaks.

Before;




After;





Painted the Inlet Plenum & Turbo Heatshield in Satin Black. Time will tell how the Heatshield holds up, but so far, so good.
