Magic Blue Pearl, it's one of these colours that unless the sun shines on it then it just looks like another black car






Black or Blue???

Although I am Chinese, I was born in the Netherlands so the Vredestein brand being used in Scotland makes me proud :-) For you it feels like a definite improvement on the CrossClimates ? Fitted them on all of your cars ?
Do you keep two sets of alloys or do you swap the tyres on 1 set of alloys ? I was told it would not do favours to the life of the tyre but have no idea if that is a myth or not ....

And what an amazing colour your car has, arguably the best colour out there. I noticed in one of your pictures that you posted on your own thread the shadow of a (semi-)professional photographic setup and the quality of your pictures is amazing !
