Hello,

I like the look of the newer CGT especially with bigger alloys and a very small gap under the wheel arches.

What options do I have with lowering my CGT MY 2004, or getting bigger alloys and tyres etc.

Which option will make the ride very uncomfortable.

Thanks

Thanks

Decided not to go with the lowering option, too much hard work.

I may be able to purchase some ET9.5 22inch alloys, but will have to adjust speed readings as will be slower mph.

Don't get annoyed or upset, I know you are trying to help,, but as the saying goes you can take a horse to the water but you can't force it to drink it!

Some people like me bought the car for the interior craftsmanship, not for the high speed or engineering,or reliability of the Bentley.

It is an 18 year old car, I drive 3000 miles a year and want to personalise it to my liking not anyone else's and then enjoy it!!

I know about the tyres, I have owned afew big cars like Audi A8s and it makes sense having the correct load and rating. Tyre technology has moved on though and you do not need to use a particular brand like pirellis anymore. I use Dunlops all round.

In terms of bigger alloys and lower profile tyres, that is something I need to think about.

Finally, your remarks regarding the insurance are not necissary we all know what and isnt required, Instead let's just keep it all good and friendly,like this forum is.

Thank you.

Its not arrogance actually... I may choose to do something different, which is suited to MY needs.

Also, don't take it personal, it's just a car, an object, they come and go

Have a nice day.

I have decided to keep the original 20s on and not lower the car.

I think bigger alloys and slimmer tyre profiles will affect the ride quality, as I mainly drive the car around town and roads here are terrible.

Also lowering the car seems a lot of hassle and the car weighs many tonnes so will leave that too.

However, I will go ahead and purchase the vag com software, which am sure I will find useful
