19" Aeromax wheels, yes they are expensive, but they look "right" and as others have said they don't seem to degrade the ride.
As far as colour is concerned, be bold, both body and leather. Heated seats are essential and I'd have A/C. It seems nuts in an open car, but cool feet and hood up, a powerful demisting effect with full heat and full A/C.
At 6000 miles run since December last year it is a car for all seasons. All I've done is washed and polished her, added fuel, checked fluids and replaced the front pads at 18,000 miles.
