looks great in that colour, not a fan of these, but can see the appeal.

btw the leather scuff on bolster can be fixed quite easily in my reckonings

Nice motor, I had one the same only Pre-facelift with the Areo Kit.

Get rid of the run flats (assuming its still running them) and a 15% smaller pulley(if you don't mind fuel consumption), job done.

can the run flats just be replaced with normal tyres? and use the spray stuff if it gets a puncture? i have all the sensors etc for the run flats so not sure i want to completely dispose of all that

Yes straight swop.

Getting rid of them transforms the car mate. They are rock hard and really uncomfortable with them and handle like shit, makes a massive difference. Perhaps wait until you need new tyres then replace with non-run flats, much cheaper option too. Might have just been me but i had no end of trouble with my run flats too, light kept coming on the dash when they werent flat and kept randomly going flat for no reason, one minute fine, next minute flat, pump it up, a few days later a different one goes flat, repeat

I understand Rich H on here had problems! People wouldnt change them saying its against legislation and stuff.

Mate had the same problem on his Volvo C30. They said you would have to change the suspension and we are legally aloud to fit them or some bullshit
