16's, very nice indeed, saw the car when it was being advertised up on the north circular, very very nice it was too, however mrs t waited just a touch too long to throw in for it. funny thing is though, just a about a month after it went, was up for sale again in manchester...odd eh?

Oh, I'd have to photoshop one up, but can do if you'd like.
I haven't done it to mine yet, but have full intentions of doing so.
Returning roughly to the original subject, can we talk about WHITE for a moment?
I've read, in English car magazines, that white is a deeply unpopular colour in England... and that seems to be confirmed here. Is that the case?
Here in NZ a huge number of Jap imports arrive in white, which was always a prestige colour in Japan. Not that it has anything to do with my Uno Turbo of course, but I think I'll be leaving it white as I don't fancy the task of changing the colour properly (complete strip etc. as we did to a friend's Uno 45).
White has the advantage that it doesn't highlight the dents as much. Also, your car doesn't get as hot when parked in the sun (of course, black is the most efficient radiator as well as absorber, so in theory a black car will cool off fastest when the sun goes behind a cloud - but in practice, I reckon there's always enough sunlight left to maintain the temperature). Then again, the sun is a bit more powerful in NZ than in the UK!
I quite like the contrast between black and white on the bumpers of mine.

Alex, white sucks..... especially over here, with the weather greasy road blah blah blah, if you dont clean it enough/regular basis then it goes dingy and yukky.
personally white is for any sort of van, no reason just a "van" colour lol

White also highlights any rust runs, which makes any rust appear 10 times worse.
White is simply out of fashion at the moment. Back in the 1980's it was a popular colour - remember all those ghastly Escort Cabriolets/ RS Turbos with everything colour coded white :yuck:
These days it seems to be synonimous with vans (hence "White Van Man"), wedding cars and minicabs!
And as CharlieBoy says, it's a pig to keep clean thanks to our damp, soggy and dirty roads.
No doubt it will come back in fashion one day

At the moment is "diablo-orange" the hottest candidate for the turbo. The hard part is to get a cool color that doesn't look cheap.

Well, orange is the leader at the moment. I'm about 95% sure, if not finding any better one. Alloys, also been thinking of white but not sure.
These look really good (not white)

How do "Schmidt alloy with white wall tires" look like?

Where can i find other cool "tail-lights"? I think Dunc has red/white ones (mk1), those would be great!
