Hubcaps :thumbsup: - looks way classier. The bling ones make it look a little too Vauxhall Nova, if you know what I mean ;)

Well, that was a shock to see this morning - I had one as my (almost) first car also (2nd car really). Same blue, same wheel covers, same 1983 MY but mine was the 1.6D, I probably did 100k in it commuting to my first job. Great little car.
