My new winter project - Wheels!
Afternoon all despite my issues with the stereo I did enjoy a trip to a Ferrari garage in Wandsworth today to get some winter tyres and a trip to Haslemere for a set of 3 series wheels to wear my new rubber. Not sure i'll ever actually use the winter tyres but i've always been curious and last year ...

My Pioneer head unit is also on it's last legs, the screen is rarely readable. Well off course now that the amp etc. has been rem...

Sorry to drag up a thread that got some people wound up bit I took some photos at the weekend of my 2.8 with the ///M wheels. It certainly is close but I really don't think they are dangerous. If I hit a pedestrian with my car the last thing on their mind would be whether my tyres stuck out my 3mm o...

HELP car thinks door is open when i go over bumps
Hello all, on this patriotically nervous day. On way to work my car decided to pretend the door was open, therefore the window slid down a cm, and the interior lights came on. the next bump sometimes it would try to go back up. For a while the window was going back and forth like ronaldo at a mirror...

With a big drop they do rub on the wheel arch liner a bit, lower profile tyres or a slight increase in ride heght or some rubbing and ignoring it is the answer.

a 2.8 can have ///M wheels with rolled arches and not too low suspension. I think they look OK but the previous ET38 19 inch with 265 tyres on were much wider and sat better in the arches in all honesty. A set of black ///M wheels refurbed are on eBay for nearly £800 without tyres! http://i304.photo...

I am getting rid of the chrome ones so I was wondering if anyone has these items lying around have seen ebay and coopers OEM prices which aren't too bad, door handles are only about £8 but thought i'd try on here too?

Just been to teh local and this was in the car lot opposite. Rare colour (maybe for a reason) but if you like it then fair play. On the forecourt for £2999 No expert on the soft top version but I think an early 1.9 or 2.8 from carselectgroup.com http://i304.photobucket.com/albums/nn162/zcoupe/160520...
