Since the day I bought it it's needed a good polish, looks like it's only ever been washed all its life, now the sunny weathers here Iv noticed in the sun it's full of swirl marks so after it bugging me I dug out the super resin this evening and have it a polish by hand, made up with the results, dead smooth loads redder and the swirls have gone! Needs a proper detail to get the tar off the bottoms of the doors and a few bits seeing to paint wise like the front splitter but for now I'm chuffed

They will look lost in Gloss Black, Satin Black was bad enough.
Def consider an Anthracite as per Jambos suggestion!
These Red ones look good with Anthracite details instead of Gloss Black...

No you haven't. But I may have found something you were after and got my hands on it. Need to confirm it tomorrow before I get too smug about it though
That Black Vectra - the owner was messaging me on VXRO for a while for what Wheels I got, specs, sellers etc
He even has the small front plate too after fishing for information on where I got mine. Ha

Don't like the wheels in black especially with the little line around the rim. Look tiny also!

Iv been onto the couriers the last two days trying to chase it up they tell me any news they will email me I keep ringing for updates and they tell me an update so I ask well why haven't you emailed me!!!! I sent them piks of a wheel so they know what to look for yesterday as they have big warehouses where stuff goes when labels fall off etc, apparently they found a wheel that matches mine, but need more info on it, so iv sent piks of all the et and rim width stampings on the back of the wheels etc tyre size as they told me there are apparently 3 other depots trying to claim the same wheel and they don't want it to go to the wrong depot, in the meantime I'm going to just buy another set I think

So 3 other depots have lost a single wheel as well.
How retarded are the delivery drivers delivering only 3 car wheels.
Hope it gets sorted for you mate.

Seems that way mate ! Total nightmare I just hope the wheel they have found is mine and they manage to identify it as mine and not give it to one of the other depots pissed off as I had buyers lined up for my vxr wheels which I can't sell untill I atleast know this 4th one will arrive

Why would you buy another set? It's the couriers problem to sort out.
Are they new? If so, get on to the seller and tell them to send one out.

I would hazard a guess as to them not being New, otherwise I imagine Tom would have been on the Sellers case by now just like any of use would be.
