plymjack - I believe the the UK market is switching more and more to auto transmission - with the latest technology meaning no fuel/emissions loss over manual variants, super smooth shifts and toooo much UK traffic, it all adds up to an all round winner.

I too kept the std 17" wheels (for comfort and cost) but after 8 months I am fed up with cleaning them - behind the spokes requires a great effort and you have to move the vehicle at least once to get behind the callipers. Even with a jet wash, wheel brush, you name it I can find an easy way to clean the wheels. Therefore, I went and bought some 18" C18-DMB style from CMS. These are 60% black finish and all black behind the front spokes so I can spend less time cleaning, I would post a picture but I have not bought the tyres or fitted them yet.
