How r u finding the Black / Red combo NASTY?

Often. [/QUOTE
We never got the picture I wouldn't worry too much... Check his other posts
On the subject of colour, you notice how no-one is biased one way or the other Ya gotta get the one ya want!
Serious (Meant to be helpful) note
A neighbour of mine often ends up washing his car the same time as I do. His is dark blue. He actually remarked that two days after we washed them together his looked filthy; that fine layer of dust you get all over it. Mine still looked immaculate. Closer inspection revealed the same amount of dust on my silver, you just couldn't see it. Might require mucho mucho cleaning???

The cleaning problem has been pointed out to me.
I am gonna go for Black / Red, already ordered today so that is that. 5 months and ticking.......ho hum.....
Quick question though, 17" and 18" rims? Do they affect the car handling or anything else for that matter in anyway?
thx

Cost was not really an issue on the wheels front, I wanted a car for 30k so the car on it's own saves me loads. The rims need changing I feel to personalise the car, I just don't want the changes to affect the cars handling or anything like that.
I may go to the Rutland meet just to see lots of great S2k's in the same place (Rather than a dirty demo model in rare Honda dealers).
Got an Escort 1.6i......ok, leave me alone! - Only got 5 months of mundane driving left.

This blue car from the Geneva car show is the same colour as the one I saw in Tokyo pre-launch. I am assuming that this is Monte Carlo blue as at the time there were no other blues out.

If I am right (And I expect to be) then I cannot wait until next weekend.

Sam.

Hi Often !
Yes, I love the Black/Red Combo... it looks mean and nasty !
Im thinking of going totally black on some parts of my car soon.
Black OZ Wheels, Black tinted lights etc... once i get my nasty number plate on then it'll be one nasty car !
Im too am thinking about getting 18's, but im going to wait until ive had the car for a year. As far as I know, it will just mean more expensive tyres to replace. There are quite a lot of posts about this on the forums, but if you notice on the usa sites that most of the guys there have larger wheels...

Hopefully, biker1 can make it... (nigel, you coming along ?) it'll be nice to see how your paint job on those brakes turned out.

I have the Black / Black combination and it looks awesome.
Can't wait for the Rutland meet to see what the other colour combinations look like.
