Very pretty Neil!

Thanks Jim.

The pepperpot and the cloverleaf go hand in hand with a very nice dressing-up job done by Ford on the XR2 and XR3 of the 80's. So here's the XR2 pepperpot's moment in technicolour too...

Cloverleafs and Pepperpots

So the XR3 had the cloverleafs and the XR2 the pepperpots but can you find examples of the cloverleaf and pepperpots on other cars and post them up. You will, perhaps surprisingly, be able to find an Aston Martin Lagonda with pepperpots.

I like pepperpots... My first MK1 MG Metro had rather attractive pepperpots and my 1.6 205 GTi had what some described as pepperpots although I felt that was stretching things a bit...

This if translated from the original German, is a thread about the wheel designs of the Citroen CX, and the Citroen XM. It includes a montage put together by the Original Poster on the thread

The same person who put together the CX wheels montage and the XM wheels montage also has done one on the BX.

I'll keep that one for a rainy day.
