Looks tidy enough, bar the wheels, good to read they're making an exit

Plenty of nice OE wheels to choose from, we all have our favourites too of course.
Dodgy MOT is reminiscent of a 'cheap' Subaru I bought a while ago, DVLA and testing station were not remotely interested. That cost around £2k to get sorted too!

luckily for me dvsa etc trading standards etc are all very interested esp as since buying it found out the chaps that run the dealers have had prision sentances and banned from selling cars in 2014 so there lots of interested people
im currently sat going through ebay looking at wheels thinking black rims are the way to go

Nice car but those wheels do nothing for it so glad they are going too

, there are plenty of genuine used wheels about that look nice

Hope you can get some of the money back from the dealer but by the sound of it they have been at it before so I don't like your chances

Those wheels aren't going, they've not long arrived

Oh and they are genuine X6 wheels too that I fitted.
