@pk_090 : Too right, Alex. Gold not normally my thing but it just works here, and makes a welcome change.

Fixed your tags, Alex. [img] tags work better than [url] tags which you never need to use.

Not a fan.

Good looking wheels Alex

Not sure if they'd look right on a Mk1 :?

Would be interesting to see a photoshop
