I checked with my MOT tester before changing, did this 4 yrs ago and never been stopped. I think it only really looks OK on a white car though. I got the correct material and size and spacing.

Re: 2 Wheels to 4 :)

Hi Eclipse83, Great looking car, congratulations. What were your 2 wheels, must have been a tough decision? Hi, scharlton Thanks! I had a Ducati Panigale 959, then went to a more upright MV Augusta Brutale, then buckled under the pressure and sold up to move to 4 wheels 👍. I think I’ll be happy. Ap...

Re: Insurance Renewal

Re: Failed injectors - 2017 F-Type

Hi Biggus, I have a 2014 R with 40k on it and dropped an injector late last year. Phoned my local and trusted garage for servicing and they said almost certainly injector (fault code also says possible coil pack) and that they almost always stick in and they have to drill them out.
