Hi, i was slightly concerned about mine to, think i even saw 23-24psi but i hope this is down to inaccuracy from being plumbed in at the DV end. What difference have you noticed in the readings and hows that aerial for reception?

The readings are higher now, which I thought was strange, but bear in mind I haven't had the map for that long and I was used to seeing 12psi. I think they might have upped the boost a bit to try and get the figures I wanted to see I reckon it was about 15-17 before. I don't think there's a massive difference where you plum it in. As for the aerial, the reception seems fine, but I never listen to the radio anyway so I haven't noticed any difference.

EmDee, IMHO most aftermarket wheels don't really suit LCRs as well as the OEMs.

However, IMHO, your's actually improve an LCR's looks - especially in all-graphite. Nice find! :clap:

Why thank you, I agree that it is difficult to get the wheels right on these cars, but since I bought mine with no wheels (yes, that's what i said) I had to find some that suited but I didn't fancy spending £600 on some stock alloys with no tyres. Managed to get a great deal on them brand new off the fleabay. I'm glad you like them, I am happy with them.

Also I won something on that aforementioned auction website today. Watch this space.

Yes, I think they are, my spare weighs quite a lot - but that's presuming the tyres are the same weight. Since the only stock alloy I've got is my spare Ive not been able to compare them properly, but I do know LCR alloys are not particularly light.

Thanks for reply.

OEM LCR alloy weights 10.5Kgs without tyre

Been a while since I did anything to the car since it's winter and all, I think she was feeling neglected. Decided to give the interior a good clean and hoover (no point in doing the outside really), filled up the washer fluid checked the oil and tyre pressures etc. and treated her to some rather fetching stickers. Here are some pics of her in winter mode:

Nah there isn't really a reason for it, just might look cool and then badly slow your car down, still, it'd look cool
