    Well, after 3 months and 3000 miles of ownership I have managed to get some pictures of the old girl up - At last!

    Very nice,best colour too!

    You only need two tools in life - wd-40 and duct tape. If it doesn't move and should, use the wd-40. If it shouldn't move and does, use the duct tape.

    And if you can't fix it with a hammer,you've got an electrical problem!

    Thanks for all the positives guys!
    To answer the questions:
    The wheels are Rota Boost (I think) - They were a bit of a spur of the moment purchase, but the width and offset are spot on for what I need. Quality is looking excellent so far (touch wood).
    Cover the number plate - I didn't bother because I now have a cherished reg on it, so people are free to look up T165 BSL and go and nick it from retention in the DVLA office!
    Number plate size - I have no idea what size that one was, but my new one started off as an "American Import" sized plate before the friendly plate printers took a bandsaw to it - It's now VERY small!
    And yes, the "nipple" is a naked washer jet! Really must get round to replacing that cover!

    Dave what size and offset our your wheels and tyres? they look very nice and suit the car. I'm looking at some Rota d1 but am finding it hard, to make my mind up to 17 or 18 and offset
