Swopped my 06 Coupe for an 07 Roadster. Absolutely love it! Loving the infinitely better aural cacophony of going topless!

The one niggle I'm still not too sure about is the slight Anthracite alloys. The car has only done 11K miles and the one previous owner has meticulously cared for it but I'm just not so keen on what he spec'd it with.

Does anyone fancy a swop of their standard V8V alloys?

Failing that does, anyone know what it would cost to respray/refurb them to the standard spec, preferably somewhere in the South (Hampshire) area?

I was going to do the same when I first picked mine up but stuck with the anthracite to see if I would get used to them and like them. They are still on the car 9 months on!

Mmm I could be tempted....I like the anthracite and have toyed with the idea of getting my Silver ones painted....

I may be interested, and in the Hampshire area - between Southampton and Winchester.
Would be good to see a picture of what you have.
You may be able to see mine on profile pic, but they are standard style 19"

Haven't had a chance to take some pics as yet, I'll try to do some this evening. I'd say they're only slightly darker than the standard finish, but I personally don't think they suit a meteorite silver.

Hi Rich

Want to change the new one already?

Not that near to you, but Lepsons do a really good job of refurbing and going to a standard silver finish is not too bad price wise.

www.lepsons.com

If you do decide to visit them, call in and see us as we are not far from Gillingham.

Love the car by the way.

Cheers

Mike

Thanks all for the responses. I've now found someone who'll do a swop.

Thanks Mike for the Lepsons link; I've heard they're very good - hope you're enjoying the car, I do miss it a bit... it's not exactly topless weather at the moment!
