Car's a nice colour-but do not like the colour of the wheels at all.

I thought they complimented the red well. Just proves we're all different I guess! :cool:

I'm expect somebody will say they like the wheels but don't like the colour of the car!

Not quite. I like both colours but not together. Think the wheels would look great on a Black or XPG car and the Red would go nicely with some Silver wheels.

Anybody wants a swap :) ??

I'd be more bothered about the engine light being on. Nice car though.

Me! Not a fan of red, that's why I wouldn't have a Ferrari! LOL, but I do like the wheels.

I have a set of apex that colour on my XPG ZTT. I was a little underwhelmed when they were done but they've grown on me and other folks have been very complimentary.

ref the light on the dash, the engine was not running, just had ign key on, car does not have the man. light on when running. but keen eyes anyway

I was wondering what to do with refurbishing the alloys in terms of colour, thought of silver so held a silver spare wheel i have against the cars front wheel, then put an anthracite coloured alloy against the rear wheelarch. the anthracite alloy complimented the car better IMO as all the blacktrims of the car match the alloys as there is no chrome or silver.

its all personal preference but most people have said it looks better than a std one or silver

Sorry, James, but the rev counter indicates the engine was running:

I am in the process of buying this car. Colour of car and wheels look good in my opinion. My previous car was a BMW 335d se, red with silver wheels but I much prefer the colour on the car James is selling

If its the red 04 tourer I've paid a deposit on it. James had several others who were interested but I was the only one who came forward with a deposit to secure the vehicle

My father came from Keith lol. Going to get in touch with James @ Elite when he comes back off holiday. He's got a car to pick up in edinburgh so he asked if I wanted him to drive the car up. I'm a bit anal as to who drives my car plus I'd miss driving it myself lol

I have to say it is a totally formidable car, the Solar Red is stunning, I will admit that I was not overly keen on the wheel colour in the photo's but in the flesh it is a different matter, James choice compliments is perfectly, the interior is stylish/comfortable and as for the sound of the engine, what can I say, my little V6 is feeling a tad inferior lol, as for the look on my sweethearts face when he is driving it makes its worth immeasurable, I am looking forward to many happy jaunts in the beast with my sweetie :))))
