I agree, they do look better on the passenger side / near side of the car.

I had a mk4 Ford Escort XR3i back in the late 1980’s and the wheels on that car had directional spokes. I just found a picture of one on the internet and the wheels look tiny - they were 14” which was the norm for many warm / hot hatches in the day.

Mine was pretty much identical to the car at the link below, apart from the aftermarket front fog lights (mine didn’t have them). 

Edit; oops, forgot to post the link;

Having had my ClubSport for over three months now, I have begun to notice a few little niggles that are outside of the 'usual' things that have been commonly spoken about - Clima Synch, Primary User etc.  I am hoping that this will allow me to see if others are having the same, less bothersome issues and also get an idea if any or all warrant a call to the dealer.  This is the first time I have owned a new, or even close to new, car, so I am not entirely sure on what warrants a valid complaint, to be honest.

Squeaky brakes - I feel that I bedded my brakes in sensibly but my ClubSport does suffer from squeaky brakes at very low speeds - ie, when in slow moving stop/start traffic or when reversing into a parking space.  Is this just a normal consequence of having 'big brakes'?

Infotainment / AID coil whine - The only time I notice this is when I turn the car off and open the door, turning the music off....but it is really quite noticeable.  If this turns out to be a relatively isolated issue, then maybe I have a case for a hardware upgrade with the possibility of being able to have wireless Android Auto...?

Door card rattles - One in the passenger side door that rattles when driving at low speed on torn-up roads and another that is triggered by non-excessive bass at regular listening volumes.  If I put a little pressure on the door pocket, it stops.  I know this is a tricky one, as I suppose a dealer would just say that I have my music too loud or my bass is too high but it really isn't and I wouldn't expect this from a brand-new car.  Do I have a case?

I will add more if I remember or notice any and please feel free to add any of your own.

I agree.  Mine have really grown on me.  That's not to say that I think they're great and wouldn't consider a new set, but I have definitely grown to like them.



Only from that side, though... 

A slight problem if you own an IPhone though!! 😂

I thought the op said they had android... If not , use apple carplay...

Try that first as it's the easiest solution.
