Diamond cuts would be nice but the finish tends to be fragile. You're right, grey might be good. We'll see; ypou never know I might fall in love with black eventually  ... I suspect that you will. The gloss black compliments the overall theme / style of the Dynamic and looks just fine. And the squared-off wheel arches make that area of the car very much easier to clean - so easy to fit an under-body lance into the gap!  Exactly my thoughts Philip. Scary or what  |

Scary or what  To my eye, the arches of the 4.5 are remenicent of the 4.2 whose wheel arches are certainly not round! |

I’m amazed.......All these years extolling the virtues of the 3 door and you sell it. I said many times the one huge strength of those 3 doors is how they retain value. Then you go and change for a car that will plummet in value.
Don’t get me wrong I’ve done exactly the same. Paid 25K seven years ago for a car that is now worth next to nothing. But I was never into the 3 door cars....
Hope the new proper sized car is everything you want it to be 👍👍👍👍👍

Very nice Jim  I think the black wheels go well with the colour of the Rav or perhaps the greyer look wheel might look good? Diamond cuts would be nice but the finish tends to be fragile. You're right, grey might be good. We'll see; ypou never know I might fall in love with black eventually Finish on the diamond cut wheels on my VW is amazing. The laquer is so thick it beggars belief. Perhaps the Japanese could learn something. But I hate the damn things.  |

I love the 3-dr auto (have had 3 as well as 2 x 5-dr 4.2s and 1x 4.3). I would have made a case for keeping it as well but, as our daughter's family have moved in with us until their new house is ready in the summer, there wasn't room to keep it on the drive and as the street outside our close has yellow lines, we can't park there during the day. So sadly, it had to go. |

As the Mitsi been put on the back boiler for now and have you been converted to LR Jim  As the saying goes, LR - lovely place to sit as you wait for the recovery truck. No, the Easter Bunny brought this:  Nice one Jim, black and grey nice combination 😎 Need to start your own thread on it now...want to see lots of photos 👍🏻👍🏻 |

They're getting more expensive HERE I can see why they are asking the price for the low mileage but not a colour I could live with 😕 |
