Nice to see you've got a Coupe again Dan - I remember speaking with you at the SE meet and it was obvious you were missing having one. \:\)

Looks lovely, Dan. You're doing the right thing by putting original wheels back on. I've yet to see any wheels on any car ever that are a more beatiful design than the coupe turbo wheels. (Not so keen on the later design with the split spokes).

I think plus wheels look better than the standard 20vt ones. Both are good designs though.

Ah we could be back onto the old "the original wheels are best" debate
