Woolfies always look good on a Pickup - very retro.

You posed the question...

I believe that Rimmer Bros may also supply silver centre caps to fit the Spitfire rims - not sure about the TR6.

On my Morry Minor Traveller which had Marina front and rear running gear, I fitted the first edition MGF wheels. They weren't too boy racer and the tyre selection was good. The rims are 15" x 6" but you might need special lug nuts.

I think he meant the "spikes" in the centre of the slotmags Kilroy, not the centrecaps on your banded spitty rims ;)

As for MGF wheels, personally the only Marina I've seen that pulled off modern wheels was the twin cam powered estate in dark grey (that I believe was stolen fairly recently sadly :( ). That was modified enough (colour, interior, smoothed etc) with modern touches to pull it off. On an otherwise fairly standard car they look a bit odd- the combination of large diameter and no dish just doesn't work, for me at least. The 14" MGF steels are pretty good though.

Aaaah - I see what you mean.

Were they not once used by Madonna as a bra..?

Or did Boadicea get there first.?
