I have had this for nearly 4 weeks and am still excited, It joins a V8 E55 AMG and a 66 Ford Mustang V8. I do like my V8's .... wink

Loving it .......

Thanks for looking!

Is it true the ride becomes 'crashy' or just 22" scaremongering?
Wouldn't be putting them on the FF just interested.

That looks fab! There's a guy local to me with a white one with blue stripes that looks great except the suspension makes the front appear like its on stilts, whilst dragging its arse along the ground. Yours looks spot on. thumbup

Whatever floats your boat, mate...

Personally I think it's a lesson in how to ruin one of the best all-terrain vehicles in the business!

And, as for the 2010MY rear lights, just WHY? Isn't that a bit like sticking a GT3 badge on a be-spoilered Carrera 2?

Do you mean in looks or performance? The closest this beast gets to going offroad is when I drive it on the lawn for a photo ...... wink

And if you look at the rear lights on the new Sports you will see how lovely and distinctive they are to the 2007 MY; they now have LED's and give a modern look. I'm not badging up the car - its got all the badges it needs thanks wink

Interesting feedback though; thanks for looking.

Like the Stang. Not too keen on the RR. Bling wheels just look so wrong on a 4x4 IMO.

What is the SC like to drive?

Does it shift or just make good progress compared to your E?

Quite...

Got to admit, I was expecting to cringe when I saw the photos, but those alloys do look smart.

The 2010 lights look nice on the RRS.

If it wasn't for the fact I have the FFRR S/C so have very "different" lights to the others anyway I'd be interested in upgrading. Have to admit I still think the FFRR S/C lights look nicer.

Like the wheels too, lovely design but a bit big for me smile Do they do a 20" version?

A bit too much bling for my tastes, but I also have a '65 Mustang (fastback though not coupe), done the AMG V8 thing already, have been a serial V8 TVR owner in the past and currently have a 5.0 supercharged XKR so it's all good. Can't beat a V8 biggrin

Very nice, the wheels look very good and the upgraded lights look very nice compaired to the standard ones,

You may want to get some cheaper wheels and some better tyres for winter so you dont get the alloys damaged or covered in grit etc, also snow and low profile tyres and 2.5 tons wont mix well, hehe

Enjoy it, you must not really care about fuel bills though going from the fleet, smile

Bling bling bling - too much bling. Revert wheels and lights back to standard and the car will be much improved in every way...?
