Image request for black wheels

[riwiho]

Does anyone have a picture of an Ardent Red series 2 Elise R with black wheels and a standard roof?

I have been considering black wheels for a while but finding it hard to locate some good images. After seeing The Bumblebees post (http://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&t=489480) I am curious to find out what a red Elise would look like.

Any help would be appreciated

I was looking at one on Autotrader a little earlier. There is a pic of a Chilli Red Exige with black wheels on the Ribble Valley site, that may help you make your mind up. Personally i think it looks great with the black wheels and to prove my point look at the Red Exige at CN with the silver wheels, it looks crap IMO.

As if to prove my point. The car looks great.

Thanks. That looks the nuts. I think the decision has been made and the mrs has just offered to pay for it as a present, jackpot

If you're getting black wheels you might want to think about getting a black defuser too - I think it looks a bit odd when the defuser is the only bit of silver on the car.

Ok so it's a chilli red but that's only an ardent with a bit of lacquer on it so here's mine

That is exactly what it will look like when it is done. Thank you so much for that, really helps with the the final picture

Why do a lot of Ltus have that little gold coloured sticker on them?

I thought it was enterprise, but i could well be wrong. The queen and I haven't sat down and had a chat over a cup of tea for ages.

Next time you sit down for a cup of tea, could ask the queen why mine doesnt have one?

Just got a text message from Liz saying "One does not like orange". I personally think its a great colour but then she's never been regarded as having good taste.
