  1. What wheels do you have now? The easy answer is to simply grab a tape measure and go see how much further the wheel will stick out (but measure it from the tyre, as that's the wider part and is the bit that will rub if anything). I've no idea how close the 370 runs the tyres to the arhes, but my gut is telling me that it ain't that close so I'd have thought that an extra 12mm is going to be fine. And yes, faffing around with profiles is going to cause that. What's the percentage difference front to rear? That could play havoc with your TCS if it's too big.

  3. Have. Not of. Amongst others, of course.
  4. Because JDM yo.
  5. Yup, that's me then. No tyre manufacturer would come out and say "Hey, our tyres are ruhbbish when they get low, so change them early!" would they?! Common sense dictates that a tyre with less tread is worse than one with tread. Well, common sense and physics. With regards to mixed tyres, as long as people read the Sticky thread and understand the potential dynamic changes then that's totally their call and I won't criticise for it any more.
  6. ^^^ This.
  7. Might as well go full 'tard and get some Hello Kitty ones or something
  8. I'm praying it is
  9. Gotta be a photochop, surely?!
  10. I haven't, no. I've never been on DW, and tbh I suspect that someone signing up just to flog an orange 6er is probably going to get short shrift Not a bad idea mind, happy to be proved wrong. I've had a few bites via eBay, just waiting for someone to come view it this weekend. Would much rather it went to someone I knew though, hence pimping it here hardest
  11. Bumpy for price drop Although let's be honest, we're all friends here and you know I'll take £7K including all the extra bits I mentioned if you're a member of this forum. Hell, make it £6999 to keep the missus happy if it makes for a sale! If you're even remotely interested, give me a shout and we can talk. Whatever your preconceptions of a 6 series, and I definitely had some too, I can promise you this will change them. Plus V8...
  12. TELL HIM TO TURN HIS CAPS LOCK OFF THEN
  13. NEVER BUY A CAR FROM SOMEONE WHO WRITES AN ENTIRE ADVERT IN CAPS IF THEY CAN’T EVEN USE A KEYBOARD CORRECTLY WHAT HOPE FOR LOOKING AFTER THE CAR
  14. Toyo proxes? No. Just no. Unless it’s the R888R for track, the Toyo range is garbage right now sadly. For now, match the rears until you can afford to change all four. And then go MPS4.
  15. Yup, it’s such a normal road isn’t it?
  16. http://www.lincolnshirelive.co.uk/news/local-news/familys-heartbreak-after-darling-dad-1078272 Not something any of us involved really wanted to do tbh, chatting with newspapers, but we figured it would be nice for their son to look at when older to read about his dad.
  17. Good question, I've no idea. I've seen them around 400bhp with no issues, but I suspect much higher and you might be having issues. I guess there's a reason they're not the tuning bargain that the others are.
  18. Daft question, why run two alarms? Sounds to me like you just need to re-sync the key rather than deactivate anything, especially if it was working fine before.
  19. About £5k
  20. Have you checked for the removal of the transport stops in the springs yet? Other than that, agreed check the alignment. However, a 370 is always going to feel different from a Merc (which one?!), so don’t worry too much about them riding the road differently.
  21. Spoke to the farmer who was first on the scene yesterday, and he said that Andrew was already dead by the time he got there (30 secs max after hearing the bang). Sounds very much like he died on impact, which is about as much as anyone can ask for in these situations I think. Still no news on when we’ll get him back for the funeral. Hopefully soon so we can start moving on.

    New Car!!

    For the driver’s head so no one can see them driving such a thing
  23. Even runflat owners don’t like runflats Don’t go there. Conti3s are okay, bit old hat now but if they’re super cheap and you’re not expecting wonders from them, they’re ok.
  24. I had mine respayed, and it was a perfect colour match to what was there before. By which I mean it didn’t match the surrounding bodywork at all Don't worry about it, it’ll never match ever.
