No problem. Here's how they look in white.

Nightmare to keep clean tho, especially after going on a trackday, the brake dust melts into the paint.

Thank you David

I must say, quite taken by them in White

Probably go rather well with Red, don't know if it's just me .... They seem to look a little bit more dainty in White.

No problem keeping them clean .... I'll just get the wife to do it .... Then the fight started

Hahaha. If you're doing them white, i'd reccommend getting them powdercoated or atleast done professionaly with 2k paint. (if you plan on ever going on the track)

Normal road use is fine with a DIY paint job (halfords aerosols in the both the pics i've posted)

I'm thinking of getting some of those ' baby cosworth' wheels, does that width work ok on a roadster? my donor has 5.5 inch wheels on, I think the escort gti ones are 7 inch?!
