Those are some serious rims there Raj, nice one.
What is the ride like now? I can but imagine it's a bit jiggly, but who cares - looks the part.

Raj, mate, sorry but I'm not getting them. I'm sure they look better in the flesh. Maybe we will see them at Spa (23rd May) this year??

Nice brakes by the way!! LOL

Oh and is that an M badge on the side :fuelfire: :P

Cheers again all.

It certainly is in need of a decent clean.

The ride is much firmer but not uncomfortable. Tbh it's nowhere near as boneshaking as a 996 turbo.

Oh well buddy, there's no pleasing everyone...lol. I guess we're even as I never liked the rims on your M5 did I... :tumbleweed: How ya been?
Yeah the brakes do look good, sourced em from some bloke at a steal... :thumbsup:

Id love to go to spa but I don't think finances/time will stretch just at the mo.

The ///M badges are most certainly on the removal list... :oops:

Do you have a 996 turbo too Raj?? Just wondering cause i do too! Sold the M5 and the cat for the X5 and the 911.

Anyway, back to business again.

Do you still have the titanium grills etc and the wheels. Chrsitmas is done with so it's time to turn some attention to the cars. Are they for sale, i may be interested.

Hey Ian, Happy New Year buddy.

No 996, but driven a couple.

As for the bits, I still have the grills but the rims were px'd at BMautosport. Get in touch with Mark there as he is planning on refurbing the rims and then putting them back up for sale (he will courier them and they will be basically brand new). Just tell Raj told you about them and you're off EvoT.

Let me know if you do want the grills buddy.
