Ah, the JG obsession with black holes under the wheel arches 😎😎 I'm with Lee, black wheels have had their day, those standard ones in the pic are the new "black"😛😛😛

Those wheels are perfect in silver, they would look naff in black!

Looks stunning in red. Lovely car.  thumbsup

 

Must be an age thing. Now I've crossed over to the wrong side of 50, I find myself looking more and more at the V6 Lotus cars. Just recently bought a 3.0 V6 diesel and even the noise that makes at full chat puts 4 cylinder petrol engines to shame.

 

I need to shift the VX on first and sell our other house, but hope to be writing a similar post later this year. Although probably in an Evora, before the kids are too tall to fit in the back seats.

Wrong.
They are cast thumbsdown and black thumbsdown

See, if they were black, they'd be lost in the black holes :lol:

Anyway, back on topic... :lol:
Looking forward to seeing in July at the national, if not before thumbsup

How many V6s at Pembrey? I assume JG will take the VX... until he finds the weather will be hot and sweaty, thus taking the air conditioned Exige :lol:

Martin, i'm not too surprised after the last couple of years. Beautiful car, just make sure any tweaks you make are limited to being bright green patches of vinyl and i'm sure you'll continue to enjoy it.

 

Silver wheels look great. Keep them.

I think the standard black ones look better, and if you keep them shiny they show up.

Of course black with black is a whole different level of cool. So much so it might break this thread. Hang on let's see:
