Strange colour combination in interior trim  ??? All dark except glove and fuse boxes, and the door upper fabrics. Nice looking though  :y

Looks very good for 235k. I especially like the wheels, they work well on a white car I think.

That looks really nice and great condition considering its past use. :y

Irmscher wheels also look great and really clean  :)...who did the refurb on them ?  ;)

Thanks :y

The wheels were done by my local tyre place, WG Tyres in Billingshurst :y well they send them off, 3 day turn around, £55+vat each :y only been on the car a day, so I'm still getting used to them :y

Interior colouring was my doing, the cream breaks the black up a bit imho, looks a bit different :y

That's a very clean and looked after estate  :y
I see where your going with the interior and it certainly does lift the charcoal finish , maybe just a few more sections of trim would help.
Nice .

I had my Irmscher wheels done by a place in Tonbrige..Spit,n,polish..they diamond cut them which gave the polished effect on the raised sections and the rim..inner parts were gunmetal,then had a lacquer applied.

For the first 2 years they held up well but with salt on roads they started to pit a little.Took them over to Lepsoms who are local to me and specialise in all types of wheel repair and they said that you can only diamond cut them once which seemed strange and they could then only offer a 1 colour finish.

Personally I like the 2 finish effect and think they are well suited to the car.Advise would be to get a spare set  of wheels and tyres for winter use as that will allow the nice finish to last longer.

Thanks for the comments :y It does scrub up nicely, but it's worked hard for a living and it shows if you look closely...
