I think that was exactly the point. A white car will start looking dirty before a grey car. The same with black cars, they are hard to keep looking clean.

I have 1 black, 1 white and one dark grey car and (albeit only 5 days of ownership and 300 miles) it still looks clean, however the blood of bugs after a M'way run is FAR more visible on the white than either of the other two.

White is easier to keep clean purely because the dirt is visible, so you can become quite @nal in cleaning it!

Today had my RS Vulcan's delivered, there are some on Ebat asking £2k for the staggered set, but bought the fronts and rears from different sellers and bagged them for £800 delivered, here's the fronts.



Not quite as nice as the forged GT alloys I put a deposit on, but will enable me to see the white jaguar leapers and 'R' decal logo's once applied

Also go my carbon effect wrap for the door mirrors which will set off the gloss black bonnet grills when installed



Oh, here's a thing, what do you think of these rotors/discs?

My local specialist has a 5 order set, front and rears for £3k, don't personally think I'll pay that, but boy are they pretty, weigh half that of stock and are supposed to last 4 times as long?
