    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:
