Black wheels look ****, sorry.

Not keen on the coloured grill surround either.

A bit harsh....

Window tint always helps with black wheels.

Maybe that should be on your mod list.

Nice car.

Think you needs some tyre wall black, on the tyres might make the black wheels look a bit better. Nice car all the same

Lol not every1s cuppa t....but i painted them at work on a sat n didn't wanna dress the tyres as the paint was soooo fresh (they look dry cos of the degreaser i used when cleanin the wheels up 4 paint)....Window tints r on the way soon n already fitted tinted front indicators n gloss black splitter
I'm happy with it fast and reliable

Sorry 2 the peeps who wanted to see the old RS

Yep, not a fan of the black wheels either. Love the RS in standard looks, as it isn't a car you see a lot.

Would love to try it with 300/300 though. We had one a few years ago and although not particularly fast in a straight line, i found it a LOT of fun in the twisties. Strong, sore arms at the end of every journey.

How quick would one of these Rs's be with 300 BHP then? My mate at work has a RS with 300 at the wheels and recons he would beat my RA with 400(ish), so just how quick are these?

Not gunna claim it would beat a 400bhp scoob would b a good little race.... but 300 @ the wheels on 1 of these would b naughty (in the dry not the wet thou lol), they handle soooo well its like havin 4wd. They just suffer top end wise there not all that great tbh

The "bint" (now my wife of 31 years) and I were very careful where she sat, and I can assure you no damage was done. I kept that car for 9 years, and lost £75 in depreciation
