@MinchCS are the door cards on the Art Velour different? I believe they were.

Also on the eBay advert the dashboard appears to be trimmed in alcantara, I assume that isn’t factory issue?

Cheers

Oh, one other point, the damage doesn't look all that bad, I'd have it checked first before condemning.

I have the Hankooks on my current car and have had both the PS4S and Pirellis on my two previous cars. I'm finding the Hankooks to be very good, quiet and comfortable but they do lose grip in conditions that the PS4S would not. I had problems with my last set of PS4S where the two rears fitted in 2022, which had plenty of tread depth left, were very noisy. No obvious signs of saw tooth as checked by my tyre fitters who are trustworthy. If I was replacing tyres today I wouldn't go with Hankooks and would weigh up my options between Continentals, Michelins or Goodyears. In your situation, assuming replacing just one is appropriate, then I would do that and look to change all four for something else another day as the Hankooks are a decent tyre if not the best.

Washed my car at the weekend but noticed this on Tuesday



No damage to the alloy, but last week I did fair miles on holiday and visited a few places that had off road parking so must have run over a rock or did remember hitting pot hole on a roundabout I could not avoid.

Looks like it will need replacing and a bit annoyed it has gone so easily which is making think the tyres don’t have a strong sidewall.

Just after people’s reviews on these tyres to see if it’s worth replacing the 1, or going for Michelin PS4S which I ran on my R or the PS5.

I recommend using a chimney brush to shove a small child into the space. It's a bit old fashioned but effective.

Gone are the days when dealers valued your business. I think since the popularity of PCP deals increased over the past 15 years, they have forgotten that they are selling £45k cars and just see them as £xxx per month rentals. Sadly, many customers don’t value their car either and perceive it as just an affordable monthly payment, which serves to drive this behaviour.

Thanks for the suggestions. It’s not that it looks especially dirty but I feel I should clean it monthly along with the other interior windows. New cars seem to get a bloom on the screens due to the new plastics I’m told. I’ll keep on the look out for a fluffy triangular muff on a stick then! 😁

This is just what the centre speakers helps with. Really positive feedback from those with HK.

Not particularly impressed with the HK upgrade. There is some bass there but a bit inadequate. The speaker quality is naff - a bit tinny despite forever faffing with the equalizer. These upgrade systems in all cars are poor value for money in my opinion and damaging to the brand names like HK, Sonos and Bose. They should be ashamed putting their names to such sh!te.
