I'm starting to think this combination is VERY VERY Rare, it's what I've ordered but having second thoughts, might even fold back to black and stock wheels.

Saw a Silver GTD last night with the Charleston's on and it looked smart at speed.  Just I don't fancy another silver car.

Any help or people with greater Google powers than my own welcomed.

61 Plate GTD 5dr, Shadow Blue, 18" Charleston's, Flat Tyre Indicator, Cruise Control, Bi-xenon (With Dynamic Curve), Storage Pack, Winter Pack and RCD 510.

Definitely stick with the Charlestons. I ordered them on mine and wasn't sure but the dealership had a car outside for sale with standard wheels and said the main reason it hadn't sold was due to the wheels.
Not seen a blue one in the flesh though, i have ordered Carbon Grey

Defo stick with Charleston's - I ordered a Carbon Grey GTD at the beginning of May 11 with Charleston's scheduled for build week 31 for a September 61 plater on the road.  Wicked combination, from a current Carbon Grey GTD owner with standard Seattle Shadows.

Black, why be common. I have had nothing but great coments about the colour of mine thats shadow blue from everyone who has actually seen it in the flesh.

Found this thread on another site, damn these other sites, should all be one...

But again not with the shadows, only the Vancy's.  Looks awesome if i was to keep it clean....

Still none with the Actual Beasts on though.

Not a GTD, but maybe close enough:

I know its all about taste, but I don't think they look quite right there.
