    Looks lovely Gav and it's clean enough to eat your lunch off!

    Inside and out it's an exceptional motor although i do miss your old alloys, it somehow made the whole car stand out from everyone else's. I think i just got so used to them over the years that it just takes some time for the mental image in my head to except the new one's

    The old wheels were good, but it hardly looks pants on those Comets either.
