Looking very good! Hat off to you for doing the refurb yourself, sounds like too much hard work.

I'm a fan of those Avus 18" wheels. I know, I know, everyone is after the 20" FE's. Nevertheless that car, in that colour, on those wheels looks perfect IMO. Nice job, beautiful motor

The subtlety you may have missed is that they are facelift 18" Avus wheels with pre-facelift centre caps.

If anyone wants a set of the original PF design I have them for sale here: http://forum.a8parts.co.uk/showthrea...3467#post93467
