I might have to experiment with the pressures (currently running standard 31F, 33R) because they seem to be squeeling alot at the moment. Maybe I'm just enjoying it more
Did you get the wheels refurbed in the end?

Nice to see a few others on here!

Well I have just been hit with the mother of all insurance renewals for... my Yaris daily beater! WTF it's almost as much as my CTR was to insure this time last year and I have 7 years NCB now!!!

Well I guess it's just tyres for the time being then, I think i'm going for RE050s...

I also want to get my wheels refurbed like this and my calipers refurbished and refinished in red:

Maybe I will just sell the Yaris and spend the money on mods for the M

Nice.

Although red cars should be exclusive to Ferrari......

Would you recommend the wheel refurber. I need mine doing and Fieldl needs his V8 Fiat wheels sorting.

Very nice matey

The black with red interior suits that car perfectly. If it wasn't for the new shape Z4 I'd start thinking more seriously about these as a replacement for the S.

Thanks mate, it was the only choice for me as it was the combo I forever wanted for my S2k!

I have also sourced a Piano Black dash which is winging it's way to me so if any Z4 owners are after a carbon leather dash PM me

I really love the look of the new Z4, it is a better looking car for sure but I will only consider one when they shoehorn the new M3s 400bhp V8 in there!

j8mie, any tunnel runs planned for the summer? Are they still S2k and Atom only?
