Afterburner

No, not the popular 80s arcade game but the rear lights offered by Marcos. I've booked in a slot with them for fitting next month but am now suffering from 'Max Power' second thoughts. Does anyone have them fitted in the South that I could come and have a look at?

Cheers

[joust]

Sorry - my M12 that has them is now in Wales...

There were a few other people around the South that have had them done though so hopefully you'll find one.

I've not had any bad comments about them since they were fitted.

Are you having them on the M400?

[joust]

Yes

[l6nex]

I've got mine booked in for Feb too (thanks joust)

Its also away having the colour changed at the moment and various other bits and pieces!! the car is silver joust now but going for a wild House of Kolor blue, had the door handles removed and solanoids put in!! I've also ordered a nice set of 19" wheels from Japan, gave them all the wheel specs and there making them up for me, should be here in 2 weeks!!

You putting buttons under the wing mirrors a la TVR?

How much are the rims setting you back? I'm still awaiting a quote on the HRE wheels.

[l6nex]

Wheels are coming in at £3650 with tyres ready to fit to the car, they are a Five spoke deep dish with a chrome rim and polished billet centres.

The solaniod swithches are little anti vandal switches like the start button, I placed them under the recess in the door that leads to the rear quarter vent, the car looks so much better without those black handles!!

Any chance of a piccy, Dave...handles AND wheels?

Martin.

[eisenjj]

Yes indeed...Pictures please!

[l6nex]

Pics will be up as soon as, if you want to see the wheels the website addy is www.river-side.co.jp and the wheel model is the Trafficstar RTS.

Dave

[DanH]

Nice choice. What tyres came with them at that price, also do you have weights and load ratings?

[l6nex]

Hmm I'll look out the weights and stuff when I get home, they are coming with continental tyres I believe..

[V6GTO]

The wheels are very clean looking, allthough they are not what I'd choose I do like them.

Can't wait to see the door handles as this is something I'd seriously consider having done.

Definitely the nicest out of the ones on that site. I reckon they should suit the car, although its always hard to be 100% sure!

thats my only fear is if they don't suit the car but I think I've gone for the best ones there, I've done a little bit photoshopping to the car and have a general idea how they will look.

[DanH]

Where did you get the wheel offsets etc from? I've seen them listed from the US, but if I do comission some, be nice to know if those are the values you used.

[paulcundy]

Any info on weights of the various styles would be very usefull.

l6nex (David),

Who's doing the doors for you and if it's not too rude how much is it costing?

Thanks

Den

[DanH]

Paul C,

The HRE wheels are :

HRE said my front wheels are 22 lbs. each and the rear wheels are 23 lbs. each. Mine have a little more material (because there are so many spokes) than some of their other model wheels, so some of them are lighter than mine.


Do you know what the OEM ones weigh?

[Mr Noble]

Sorry to bring back such an old thread but I6nex, how is the car coming along? Would love to see pics of the door handles and new colour! Pretty please

I have been searching for threads about colour coding the door handles or fitting new ones. Anyone have anyideas or thread links please.

Thanks GN
