Really smart that.

Grill looks good but I think I preferred it with chrome wheels. Contrasts more with the lovely deep blue paint. Have they got a hint of bronze colour on them or is it just the lighting?

Yeah they a mostly bronze when the light hits them. They have a nice fleck in the right light.

Couple of updates to the car. Sprayed the grill black and had the wheels refurbed. Fancied a colour change

This this on the Legacy forums I think, wheels look great in that colour. Always tempted to go bronze...

Thanks, was posted on the Facebook group. Great knowledgeable bunch on there.

I really like the mini makeover you've given it. It looks much meaner.

Sold the S4, got one of these to keep me going for a few years before changing to something electric.

Definitely a bit of a marmite car I think, but in the right colour combo I really like it.

So you don't like that one, presumably?

Well I wouldn't have bought it if I didn't like it

I meant the Clubman is generally a bit of a marmite car, at least with my friends.

Hopefully fixed now.

Aye it is and it's looking fine.

I'm not usually a fan of green cars but that works really well.

shadow_boxer · 27 Sep 2019 at 18:59

Yeah. Like the green. Lighter coloured alloys would set it off well. Always think that 5 door minis look awkward.

[TW]Fox · 27 Sep 2019 at 19:44

It's a great colour but those black wheels just make it look awful.

I think if you got lighter alloys then you need the JCW ‘bling’ wheels otherwise it doesn’t look great. Example:

Better wheels:

Plan is to get a 2nd set of wheels and put summer (non run-flat) tyres on, and change these to winters. Will let them wear down first though.
