Every bloke (or big kid) loves a big box with new goodies inside and I'm no exception. Look what's sat in my hallway at the moment....
The boxes got from Graypaul to my hallway by way of the back of our Mini which was a squeeeeeze! And here's a peek of whats in the fourth box, the contents of which are being polished with Swissvax Autobahn wheel sealant tonight and fitted to my car tomorrow
Now, I was a little concerned about the colour as I loved the Grigio colour (I think thats what they were...dark grey anyway) of the standard Neptune wheels....they suited the black car and hid a covering of brake dust very well!
These MC Stradale wheels were only available in black (and I thought that would be too much black'ness' on a black car) and these which are Titanium. The good news is that they're not bright silver and instead are a nice grey colour....not as dark as the standard wheels but dark enough to give a similar effect and hide a light dusting of brake dust!
Anyway, as long as Kwik Fit manage to competently fit the new (wider ) tyres tomorrow without getting it wrong, I'll update with some pictre with them on the car.
By the way, you did read that right....Kwik Fit! They were significantly (and I mean into 3-figures!) cheaper with one of their online special offers that meant I got 2x 295/35/20 and 2x 255/35/20 Pirelli P-Zero's for £1,100. That was at least £100 cheaper than Mytyres, Camskill, Elite Direct. Indeed, after usually being impressed with Elite, they've gone right down in my estimations after telling me that these tyre sizes didn't exist...blooody numpties!
