Indeed disappointed may have been a better choice of words, I didn't expect to be chastised over the use of my vocabulary Shocked

Ordered: Fuji Dynamic Lux Coupe / style 7 wheels / Privacy glass / adaptive xenons / something else which I've forgotton.
Should be end of April (was March, then April, then end of May/June).

If only it was that easy... eye of the beholder and all that stuff, there's a reason the 7's cost extra Wink They look that much better.

RE: help, is this a style 6 or 7 wheel?

Well, I've just received my first forum warning from a Moderator over my suggestion that RS should "get a life". This has taken some doing, especially as I published an internal LR memo about the supply situation last year which I would have thought would have lead to a severe spanking.

If I offended RS, or anyone, I apologise.

The point I was trying to make was that the choice of Style 6 or Style 7 wheels is not the be-all-and-end-all; you are not going to lose sleep over it, unlike getting the smoker's pack wrong which will have you tossing and turning for hours.

For me, I like my wheels to be clean and if I'm careless and scuff them, I like to be able to get them refurbished easily. The Style 7's are more difficult to refurbish because of the graded paint finish and there's a danger they will not match. I accept they may look great to some but not to these eyes.

Evoque was great, now in an RRS SVR
