And that, for me, is an essential part of the selection process.

Given the wide variety of styles available from so many different manufacturers it's so easy to indulge a whim and then have difficulty living with the consequences. Something that looks like OEM, or maybe allied to an OEM style theme is likely to sit easier on the eye for longer because of the association.

It took me a long time to settle on these as my OCD kicked in and variations from Breyton, OZ Racing, Hamann and loads of others got spreadsheeted, photoshopped and powerpointed to death.

But that's just me - and we all like different things, so that's OK too!

I like the wheels - they really suit the (very shiny) car :)

Aye, you're absolutely right.

But Bilt-Hamber make a citrus based de-greaser that cuts through everything I've ever thrown at it and being a non acid based product it's kind to paint finishes. Spray applied and given a few minutes to work, grease, oil, brake dust, tar, dead bugs etc just fall off. You can even hose down your barbecue with it. :thumbsup:

And if all of that fails, there's always child labour and a pressure washer although you can't mix the two..................
