Quattroporte Leather

[cobratwin]

Would anyone beable to point me in the direct i may be able to find some Leather interior for a QP....
Tried eBay and nothing.. it will be for a Quattroporte V....
May consider a swap..

 

[cobratwin]

BTW Black or Ox Blood leather is required needing seats, door cards, pillars, and Dash section, Center console.
can swap for Cream interior.

 

[cobratwin]

May of found some, but if anyone does know of anywhere give me a shout!

I will say Dave that the black and cream in yours will be much easier to sell when....if....the time comes.......Just look at how many black leather interior QP's are hanging around on PH......Red is lovely but you don't see many and there is a reason for that.....Not many like it on a QP..........You cream is without a doubt the most desirable combo on a QP.

 

[cobratwin]

point taken, will need to think on it , although defo going for larger alloys.

 

[Andyk]

Whats on it at the moment Dave....

 

[cobratwin]

18's i think....hold on ill find a pic of them

 

[cobratwin]

these are them

 

[Andyk]

Ah yes, this is the original wheel at launch.......I understand wht you want to change.....I'm not a big fan of them either...the 19 inch Spider or the 20 inch GT's look much better.

 

[cobratwin]

yeah i like the 20's but think they will be just a tad to hard. 19's i think will be the best intermediate.

 

[Andyk]

The GT Sport had 20's and the GT Exec had the 19's for good reason.....The 19's do look great and you stand a better chance of getting a set.....

 

[cobratwin]

Great!

Dave, I presume you will be taking clients in the car. You would need to think carefully about going to 20", I only drove a hundred metres down the road in a QP wearing 20"s and I knew I couldn't live with the jittery ride.

Some love it but a limo ride it certainly is not.

With the rubbish roads we have around London I actually find the 19"s a bit harsh too. They do look better mind

 

[cobratwin]

yes mate, and i do love the look of the 20's but running on a 40 profile at the moment with the alfa i suspected the 20's were going to be to harsh, thank you for confirming that,
im gonna need to do a head to head test of the 19's and 18's by the sounds of things..i do need it as comfortable as possible really

I was in Novola on Friday and they had some 19' alloys lying around that they said were looking for a new home. Maybe able to help?

With your rebound settings and and spring rates you could go up a profile on the 20" rims and that would soften the initial damping to a similar ride to the 19s.
Pzero do 285x35x20s or 295x35x20s for the rears and to keep the rolling circunferance in balance you need 245x40x20 Pzeros on the fronts. Yokohamas do similar sizing but have slightly higher wear factor.
Plus the bonus of filling the arches better giving a beastier look.

Just a thought

I've driven a gt sport with 20's and actually in normal driving mode (non sport) its very comfortable, press the sport button and you certainly know it.

I would before than happy to love with the 20's.
