Excellent

Or better still.... The Emperor!

Either way I'm feeling at home on the Dark Side

Definitely looks more like Lord Vader - even Lord Vader likes a comfy interior.

Sounds more like. 'Miss Vader'

So far we have (including a few additional suggestions):

The Dark Side:
White with Black Interior, Grilles & Wheels = Storm Trooper
All Black = Darth Vader
Black with Black Grilles and Opal White interior = The Emperor
Signal Green (ref Chris Harris's new M3) = Boba Fett

The Rebel Alliance:
Austin Yellow = C-3PO
+ All others

Red exterior + black grille/interior or all black exterior + red interior = Darth Maul

I think you will find a flap will automatically stop you if you do forget or is it only on oil burners ?

. . . .This isn't the charging point you're looking for.....

[Dadwhitey]

Very nice , quite a few white ones now

[SSS1]

Lovely car and it's white

[Chris Peacock]

Looks great, can imagine you are very pleased after your Focus.

I have a white M-Sport on order with the Ferric Grey 18" wheels and did look at the black wheels option but wasn't sure as hadn't seen any pics of them....I would concur you made a great choice

[Mrklaw]

What wheels are those,and do you have a photo more from the side?

Ordered my AW with black grilles coming week 5 but I chickened out of the 398 black 'style' as they looked grey. But still thinking properly black wheels look great on a white car.

Below is another image I took after a recent clean. Hope it helps. Will try to take a better pic when and if it ever stops raining. I was nervous about the choice but have to say am very pleased with them, they are a very dark graphite grey, almost black but not quite, have had a lots of positive comments about them. They look even better in the flesh. I think they add a bit of individuality about the car. Added bonus is that they don't use the run flats.

Sorry meant to say they are the 398 black style.

[andrewX3M40d]

damn, they look really nice. First proper photo I've seen with them on a white car.

Any likelihood I can squeeze them onto an order due in week 5?

I've just ordered an Alpine White F31 with the Ferric Grey wheels as well. They looked a lot better than the standard silver. I also considered the black rims but think the Ferric Grey is a good middle ground. Stand out nicely against the white.

Nope - dealer says my car has started production so too late for any changes.
