Where to start?
Ignoring the obvious.....it's a Vauxhall with blue wheels.....there are:
- the "Recardo" seats
- the fact that it has undergone a "heath" check
- the "prestige" condition
- carbon tat stuck to the inside
- not sure how to ask "quetions"

take your pick!

Did he go outside to smoke some crack one day have a good drag and think "my car would look the **** with bright blue wheels!"

Where as if he had layed off the drugs he would have thought "my car would look **** with bright blue wheels"

What a complete waste of money as I bet they weren't cheap

Nothing a couple of hours with rattle cans wont sort out, the other way round colour wise would have probably worked.

The colours just don't work.......its just awful!!

I'd be embarassed to drive it.............

You wouldn't want the owner as a neighbour......he is bound to have a front door in electric day-glo sludge green and pink.
