A selection for you. I don't know the name of the colour for the wheels, but I'm sure someone will:

Bit dark outside now but I will definitely post some pics after my detailer has finished tomorrow. By the way guys I own a garage equipment company I won't post a link unless the owner agrees but happy to offer all in the community a nice discount on any lifts of tyre machines required, conaero hope I spelled correctly let me know if you have any thoughts on this.

That could be of much interesting to many on here as lifts are discussed often and having someone onboard in that field could be a big bonus.
Where are you based ?

Now you tell us! I purchased a Quickjack 5000EXT last week and being delivered today! Bad timing!

Thanks :) now... shall i keep mine silver or go grigio mercury haha
My car is black with chrome also. Came to me with black trident alloy which I absolutely didn’t like.
AV engineering had them redone in Grigio Mercury which I think looks great on a black car. I kept the chrome but fitted carbon mirror caps and rear lid spoiler. Just spotted your questions on the thread BDM, will reply now.

That’s a shame. It’s primarily to keep the underside and suspension of my Concours winning Vanquish clean and is what was recommended to me by Ian Callum who is using same for his £500k plus Vanquish 25 builds, so at least I know it suits that vehicle with a 2.2T SWL and the right span for the jacking points.

... the right span for the jacking points.
Dr Houx makes a good point re: jacking point span. For example, the standard SLX model fits comfortably between the wheels of a Spyder.
Which has a 220mm shorter wheelbase cf Coupe and, presumambly, considerably shorter than a GT.

But, and it's a big J-Lo sized butt, as the unit raises the platform hinges forward.
At the point of lift the jacking points are only just within limits.
Then only when using the jacks a particular way round.
Using a taller lifting block helps minimise the forward hinge before "lift-off".

The GT/GC needs about 1.6m between jacking points and the Vanquish 1.56 so the EXT model is fine but the standard length model not. As Ian Callum is using it for his Vanquish 25 @ £500k plus donor car, it’s good enough for me which is why I bought this model

Mine i think is the same colour as yours and im thinking of getting the wheels done potentially like yours and keep the chrome. Be good to see more pics though if you dont mind?

To the original poster i got Dale to doe a PPI on mine, best thing i did for piece of mind. I got great history also even the original purchase receipt.
