Beauty Rings Debate
Most Silver Clouds, Phantoms, Silver Shadows and Silver Spirits have something called a 'Beauty Ring'.
It's that coloured and striped metal ring on the hubcap - sorry, maybe I should say 'wheel cover'...

In the late 1990s Rolls-Royce deleted them from the all alloy wheels of the Silver Spirit/Spur.

Well, I have late 1990 Silver Spirit 16" alloys on my Silver Shadow and I am going ahead with putting Beauty Rings on them.
Is this an upgrade or update? Or is it an update with a downdate feature? It is hard to describe.
I think it will be unique, but still in appripriate Rolls-Royce style.
Here is the demonstration. I think it looks good!

Could this be a first?
I do still have the original caps and 15" steel wheels should anybody be concerned about abuse.
