Thanks for all the comments folks.
Not my car (Mine's an STi 8) but a mate's. Photo's were taken as part of a calendar the WYIOC are putting together.
To answer a couple of questions (in no particular order)
Car park was quiet due to the fact it was about 7pm Sunday. Just some kids on the middle level micking about on trolleys.
Why Ikea? Why not? It was quiet, if nothing else, and the colours compliment those of the car.
Wheel colour change. Probably just down to th lighting and exposure time. Intenal lights are floursecent tubes, outside ones are (I think) high pressure discharge.
The blurred effect on the 6th pic (amongst others) is achieved by fixing the camera to the side of the car, setting a long exposure, then pushing the car for the duration of the exposure. Pushing rather than driving to ensure there's no vibration from the engine.

I love the long exposures - particularly the colours. The static shots look a bit dark to me (although that could be my monitor!).
What length exposure were you using on the moving ones. Presumably quite long if you were only pushing the car? I've tried a similar thing in daylight but found that 1/20sec wasn't long enough to get a decent amount of blur. I haven't tried a dark car park but it looks like a good idea!

Static one's look a little dark on my monitor at work (crt)
They were originall processed on my laptop which has a pretty poor LCD screen and the brightness changes dramatically depending on the viewing angle. That'd explain the difference.
Exposure times were between 10 and 30 seconds. 1/20 wouldn't be enough to get any decent blur I wouldn't have thought, unless you were giving it some beans
