Replica's
« on: 16 February 2012, 18:44 »
If anyone's thinking of skimping and saving some hard earned £££'s on some replica alloys IMHO DONT DO IT!
They are sh!te, well these one's are!

These are the one's i fitted yesterday. They weigh a tonne, paint finish is crap and the ride is terrible!
Oh and they look tiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiny! :laugh:

Could you not have put Monza Shadow reps on? You've go to feel sorry for the new owner, if it every finds one.

They'd be even worse, those nice replica polished faces corroding in a few months time.

I gave the dealer a choice and came back and said put the R's on, so put them on.

They'd rip anyone blind if they had the chance to so TBH i won't lose any sleep. :smiley:

From a distance they look decent so that's all the dealer will be bothered about.

Are you fitting the BBS wheels to the R or just keeping them as spares?

Are you taking the car in this week? I will meet you and get the filter off you if your up my way.

True, they look ok from a distance plus the bonus of brand new tyres for the dealer.
The BBS i think are going to stay, well at least until i see what they look like on the R.


I spent all weekend removing all the bits and bobs i've added to the car in the last two years so i've got a Rear View Camera and OEM bluetooth(works with the iphone4) left for sale if anyone's interested (drop me a pm for prices :wink:)

I would be so gutted if I bought a car from franchise and it had reps on,  but as you say not your problem and majority of potential owners will know the difference.  amazed the sales guy has got away with agreeing to this - the good news is its bound to bite the Stealers on the arse when they have to cough up for an oem set,  make sure you mention the dealers on here once the deal is done so noone off here unwittingly buys it  :wink:

I keep toying with the idea of talladegas. What size are they and have you got any more pictures?
