Yes I could get them to work, but you ever tried getting 4 19" tyres in the Zed? I thought £15 per wheel was going rate for fitting etc. The guys I spoke to at work thought it was cheap, some of them were paying £20 a corner!!!!

I looked at getting tyres online, until Hi Q quoted me £912 for 4 MPSS 19" fully fitted and balanced. Ok its a little more, but take into account its £60-70 to get them fitted, not to mention the hassle of getting them there, waiting for the delivery etc, I couldnt see the point in saving £20-£30 but having loads of hassle. But each to their own. Sorry Funky Tyres, not trying to do you out of business, just giving my view.

Chris, is that the Chargespeed bottom line kit? Rear valance looks sweet, though the skirts look like V1 Nismo's

Ah right, RT do a Mines rep that I was looking at, and didnt know if thats what you had. Car looks amazing by the way

Trouble is, the wheels are a custom colour, so means il have to get the centre caps painted, as I think matt black or brilliant silver will look poo. Not that you can tell what colour my wheels are the moment due to them being so dirty

I appear to have lost a centre cap from from of my ES2.2's, and didnt know if anyone had a spare laying around, as they are normally sold in 4's, and I only need one.

Il get my coat then........lol

Sorry, off topic slightly, is that a Mines front lip?

If you have a black IC then i think you can get away with it, but im not a fan of the big mouth style, like above.

Dont just look at how much lower it is, but also how much further it sticks forward, as that will also affect if its clears speed humps etc.

One thing i would say, is I would go for heavy duty bolts. The LW ally bolts iv found work themselves loose with expansion and contraction. I think I got mine from Rare Rims at a great price.

Hi and welcome. Will keep an eye out for you over xmas, as my mum lives in Leigh, so pass through Benfleet on my way to se her, and will be down over xmas.

Got to say, iv been lucky enough to go to Monaco, Spa and Brazil for the GP, and have to say that Brazil is an amazing track, and would have had that up there too. Just look at the past couple of years the carnage the weather has caused, not to mention the actual tracking being a real drivers circuit. Monaco is great yes, its an amazing spectacle, but the racing is a little dull (im a die hard F1 fan) Spa should also be up there, as that is a track like nothing else, and there will never be another one made like that ever. Havnt been to Japan, so cant comment, but the track always serves up a great race, and there are always crashes at Degna or somewhere else, but 130R isnt the challenge it once was, though maybe this year it will be with the new cars and the lower downforce.

Seen loads of Infiniti's around work, and think the G37 CC is one of the best looking CC's going to be honest, its a really good looking car. Not a fan of the rest of the range to be honest

Cheers, it was filthy to be honest, and still is, needs a good wash. Yours looked clean!

It was dark, and i was concentrating on driving, albeit slowly. Agree its nice to have a wave back, my wIfe laughed and said "FRIEND" while giving the double thumbs up.

Saw a standard Silver/GM on the M6 in slow moving traffic on Friday night, got an wave back, I was in my Azure. Also saw a 06 cabby parked in the NCP next to the Holiday Inn/Radison in Birmingham, was parked over night,again Silver/GM (Sorry but unless they are side by side, i forget which colour is which)

Well reserving proper judgement till iv done a few miles on them, but hopefully they will last longer than the Falkens did. Do you regard the GSD3's and F1AS2's in the same ball park as the MPSS then?

Will probably be better than running a set of 452's with 3mm of tread on them

Just thought id spark another debate around the same issue. Iv always left my car to warm when iv moved it.

Makes interesting reading this tread. (Just started a new one on exactly the same topic). Can I throw something else into the mix. What if you need to move a car on the driveway, would you start it up, move it, and turn it off again? Got to say, iv always warmed the car up before driving off, as I thought it was good practice, even in the summer. Be interesting to know what credentials people have for giving out the "dont do it" "do do it", and where they have gained their knowledge. Alot of people claim to be experts, but the amount of people that actually are, is far fewer

Ah,sorry, wil have a search. Il get my coat

Had a debate at work the other day, as to what the best method of warming the car up is. Some were saying that its best to let it idle first, (im in this camp) and some say that its best to just get in and drive it, taking it easy for the first few miles. Just interested in what people on here thought, as im sure most of you know more about cars than some of the people I work with.

Well got them fiited at lunch time, and have to say that I really like the look of them. (I know this is irrelvant). But because they have a rim protector on them, they appear wider than they actually are, and as a result appear less stretched. Only driven 5 miles on them, so cant make too much of a judgement. However, there does appear to be more communication through the steering wheel for is going on, which is nice. Going to take a few miles to get rid of the mould release, but going to Birmingham tomorrow, so hope that will do the job. Will be posting my 452's for sale shortly, if anyone is interested. Rears have a few mm left, fronts have loads left. Will report back after the weekend with how the tyres are feeling.

Well as I couldnt stretch to summer and winter tyres, i figured that having brand new tyres in general is better than having some with only a few mm of tread left. Drove all through winter 2011 with new Falken 452's and survived, so hoping to do the same with the MPSS'ssssss
