Wonder what Passion Rose would look like...[/colorost_uid0]

[color=#000000ost_uid1]If your going to change the context on me then it could be
a C..T Friday, or a Carlton Fosters, or a Couldn't b F..cked or
Clear & Fine weather. Doesn't change the fact my bonnet
is CF'ed.

[color=#728FCEost_uid0]I didn't think about the 'keeping Clean' side of things... i think you guys helped me make a good decision not to get em... i like the look, but i think i'd get over it pretty soon...[/colorost_uid0]

Good point Mal.

For what its worth back to the white wheels thing. My last car before the Astina was a white bluebird with white 15 inch CSA mags on it. Really looked the business when it was clean and at night time with dark windows and stuff but yeah, and absolute bitch to keep clean. Especially when you were as hard on the brakes as I was when delivering pizzas in it. :wink:
