This was about 18 months ago but I am sure there are always people ordering their new car and wanting 21" so the dealer would take in the brand new 20" as trade in.
Just ring around to their parts/service dept, you may get lucky.

+1.
I paid around 3k trading my 18 for 20, and added the flared wheel arches. The wider stance trasnfromed the look of the car, IMO, at the detriment of ride quality, of course. on a side note, I found a screw in the rear tyre today. Luckily I had replaced my RFT's with non RFT's, and hence able to have the tyre repaired. Otherwise I would be fuming if I had to replace the stupid RFT just because of a puncture.
Out of curiosity, how much discount are we talking about here for 3.0d, from the total on road price, 10k? 15k?, or more?
