Looks great Ian, not many in white about!
Richard - funnily enough I just did that to my wheel hubs last weekend! My car's on 9.5k miles and the wheels were a nightmare to take off. I'm paranoid when taking the wheels off to not clip one of the ceramic discs or chip the caliper as there's really no room for movement! |

Thats exactly how I do it Richard Lifted it just enough to lift the wheel a mm or two off the floor. The only issue was the amount of force it took to remove the wheel given the amount of corrosion on the hub - it sure was a lot easier removing the wheels when the car was brand new!

That really looks great Ian, I was keen on the Blue, but seeing the Car in Alpin Whine makes it look great, I would go Orange leather with the White though.......... food for thought.
