Shame they don’t come with the option of a slightly more aggressive offset.

I like them, though I think the Silver would look better on my Indium Grey vs. the Grey ones?

As an indium grey owner, I agree with you 100%.  Silver ones at the time were like rocking horse poo.

If I ever get them re-painted, they will be silver.

Really funny, I’ve got those on mine and always forget they’re there. And the little cubby under the headlight switch  :grin:

Lifted the car from getting the rear quarter resprayed due to rust setting in and the sill. Blended into the door and bumper. Just going to leave it for a week and then polish and re-ceramic coat the car.

Out of interest, where was the rust?
