Wood is good. You should always have some wood in a car.
944's have the plywood cover for the DME/KLR which is about the right amount of wood. Jags/Daimlers have wood on the dashboard which is right in a Jag or Daimler.
Morgan however lost the plot years ago and never recovered. Wood is used all over the place; mostly where aluminium, steel or composites would be far better. But then the British are meant to be eccentric

John, you missed a perfect opportunity to add more wood;
Mahogany.[

Lol
that reminded me of a thread I read a while back, would take too long for me to find the pic as I'm on a slow connection here, but anyone that has the time to read it will see why it sprung to mind: http://forums.vwvortex.com/zerothread?id=2918517
I agree black isn't great as the tyres should be darker than the wheels, hence I went anthracite on mine.
Many years ago I had a black Renault 5 GT Turbo (when they were still in production). For a short time it had dayglo yellow wheels and a stripe to match, but when I realised middle aged women were looking at it I decided it was a bad idea so it got black centres with a silver rim.
I like the orange, but I prefer the red.

Lol, I did wonder why there was a pink option, it must be my monitors rendition of gold [

No, red looked rubbish.....you can trust me I'm a designer.
As this is photoshop it is camera based(ish) so to take it further off thread I found this link:-

Not to say that I was underwhelmed but would suggest that I, or perhaps even little Peter, could do somewhat better for the same money. [
][][][] I especially like the Landy with the front chopped off by a tree and the scabby Mk2 Escort that seems to be trying to escape from the frame. I'd put myself firmly in the "learning" phase of photography, but I could do a lot better than that. They even seem to suggets the owner provides the car and location, so all they need to do is take some half decent pics.

I'm given to wonder what phone camera he is using.
Some of the locations look very iffy. They seem to be in a part of the world where the horizon isn't level [].
I love shots of cars travelling at speed when the shutter speed is so fast the car might as well be parked. The only indication that the car is actually moving is the car or driver has a strange attitude.
To be honest I'm only cheesed off by the thought that someone might be paying him when they could pay me.

It is a bit embarrassing but he turned up on this thread:-

He posted some slightly better shots (see page 67) but, in honesty, some others have posted some truly fabulous car shots on the thread. Apparently he uses a Canon 300D - not the normal weapon of choice for the professional.

Professional only in the most literal sense of taking money in exchange for photography.
On looking at the sample pics and the Mk2 Escort one in particular (I'd be ashamed to have photographed it never mind use it as a promo sample - it has a dent FFS) he claims to have gone to the (barren) car park at dawn to get early light to compliment the light blue paint, missing the fact that light is about all there was in the car park. Even so I'd say it merges the paint in with the sky... Overall the off-centre of the car position (not exactly following the rule of thirds and facing out of the frame?) with the featureless half of the pic and the state of the car leaves me with the feeling that there is a big cliff just off to the right that it's going to be pushed over. Hopefully.

But the skill of a good photographer is to get the best out of the subject - so perhaps the rest of the car looks worse?
I don't think we see enough white 13" Weller steel wheels these days, so it was worth bringing it to people attention for that alone. See how we almost came back on thread then. []
