    Shot # 6, the side on pic, looks nearest to the proper colour. Used to spray cars in Metalflake as well as 'ordinary' metallic/straight colours. Panel match was the most difficult, especially in low morning/evening sunlight when a badly matched colour would stick out like a sore thumb :eek:

    Perhaps a set of Honda Civic Hybrid / Merc S600 type 'solid' design allows might complement the design ?

    But thse are the only ones that fit correctly -

    Marque Type Years Centre Bore Offset
    Austin Mini All
    Austin A35 All
    Chevrolet Monza 1971-1981
    Chevrolet Vega 1971-1981
    Ginetta G12 All
    Ginetta G4 All
    Hillman Husky All
    Hillman Imp All
    MG Midget All
    Jensen Healey All
    Morris Minor All
    Pontiac Sunbird 1976-1981
    Pontiac Astre 1976-1981
    Oldsmobile Starfire 1975-1981
    Rover Austin metro not rover 100 ->4x100
    Sunbeam Stiletto All
    Vauxhall Firenza All
    Vauxhall Magnum All
    Vauxhall Ventora All
    Vauxhall Victor All
    Vauxhall Viva HA & HB & HC
    Vauxhall VX4 FB & FE
    Vauxhall VX90 FB & FE

    Jensen Healy would be a nice design of wheel for it ?

    Spotted the same model and colour Bristol heading towards Swords at the airport roundabout at Easter but the one I saw was on original Irish plates, a real peach from the short glimpse I got of it.

    Spotted these today.
