Mmm...tough choice  :cool: :smiley:
I do prefer the Pescara myself, but I can see why you've gone for the black Monzas
Is that down at the bodyshop/storage yard of the dealer...I'm guessing the owner (John Clark) has that M3 stored there for himself
Mine hasn't arrived at dealers yet...should be within the next week or so apparently

Yep still the same place - Couldn't see yours so i hope for your sake your right - you wouldn't want to miss the 1st!

By the way if you like the Pescaras so much you wouldn't like a second set by any chance? :wink: :smiley:

Hi ollieb7,

I,m just confused now!

Black Monza's look the DB's
Silver Monza 2's look the DB's
Pescara's only look Good on a silver car (luckily mine will be!)

I may have to look for something a little more unique now

Pescaras look good on grey too :wink:
BTW, what's the secret to adding photos to a reply?

From these pictures, i think the black monzas were made for the silver ed 30 (and steel grey) to be honest - they suite the overall image of the car very well.  I bet they look much better in the flesh than in these pictures though :cool:  I've personally gone off the idea now as my car is black and the whole car would just look like one big black hole with a red scrible at the front!

Got confirmation that my car has arrived - also sorted out the no. plate.  Since the stealer told me it had arrived, i have this grin on my face i can't get rid of :grin:  They just need to fit in the bluetooth on Monday now.  COME ON MARCH!!! :laugh:

Stiggy - i had about 15 different options on the plate from the dealer so long as they all started SV07 MZ........... All Poo!
The wheels deffo look miles better in the flesh - photos do not do justice!
Think of March as a week on Thursday now - thats a whole heap better than oh god only two moths to go - saying that i feel the pain - so close yet sooooo far!!!!!!

Alanh - you need to create an acount with photobucket

Hudry - IMO (of course!) black wheels silver car is the only way to go - Black car with pesacaras (the high cleaning maintenance option!) the only choice. The former gives the unique (necessary for a limited ed.) but still stock look.

Still trying to make my mind up about getting the mirriors sprayed black - any opinions?

Hi Ollieb7,

I currently have Black MOMO Corse wheels on my GT TDI and agree with what you say about black wheels on silver/grey cars. I have posted them for sale on the parts for sale section (obviously!), but am still wondering what they would look like on the ED 30 - even though they definitely wouldn't look stock

Have to agree too mate, wasn't a fan of the Black Monza's but they look very tidy on your Silver car.

Not sure If we will keep the pescarras on our black ED30, I quite fancy some Gallardo reps.
