I think its the blue, but it works for me. Same with the clios that had gold alloys.
Think i've seen a black car with gold that looked ok, other than that though they look terrible normally!

The Renault Williams? Yeah, they worked, but think they were darker, and rims were a darker colour as well imo.

There's a black Silvia in the Show Us Your Jap Cars thread with gold alloys - looks amazing.

Think it depends on the tone and ofc the car itself

I prefer gunmetal grey alloy's but these alloy came with the car including a stupid dumpvalve. There pretty heavy so going to change them for something more my taste. Can't complain though cars is a 2003 with only 44k on the clock.

I'm confused, that pic looks like a brand new car, but it's a pre LCI example.

Did you buy it new and how long have you had it?

I bought it new. Its just over a year old now. These pics were taken a little bit after I got it.

Ah, that explains that.

Just confused by the fact he called it a 'new addition', when he's had it 2 years

Ah, I meant it was my new car as opposed to my post a few years back of my other car. Didn't mean it as in brand new just got it. Sorry!

It still looks the same though! ha.

1.9?

Yeah, 1997 1.9 and it's probably the most basic model too (doesn't even have the lip below the boot button for lifting the boot up :/ ) - but for my age & 1 year ncb, anything more and the insurance would be through the roof

Far better than Ford calling their turbo engines 'ecoboost'.

Edit: Thought they stuck a badge on their cars saying ecoboost but doesn't look like they do. Still annoying though.

i have to drive to manchester quite a lot so i use my old good veccy diesel, and also carries the bikes to the downhill trials

(it also has a 15" subwoofer in the boot from my younger days)

[TW]Fox · 13 Apr 2011 at 20:07

You have that and a 2010 Astra? Not sure I understand why, why do you need two normal cars? Surely best to get rid of one?

my dad uses my vectra and i wouldnt risk taking the astra on my camping trips and i wouldnt put a bike rack on the pearl paint.
i bought the vectra about 4 years ago as a CAT D, so its basiclly worth pennies and doesnt cost much to run (ideal for my trips).
just runnning it until it dies tbh
