That look stunning.

Don't forget you want your 436 alloys back or the dealership will put them on eBay!!

Did you get a good part exchange value for the 436m wheels to 624m wheels?

I believe it's £700, which is standard px. for a good conditioned set they take. Saves me trying to take them home in a 'vert with light interior then then the hassle of selling them myself.

Ah that is disappointing, I was expecting more than £700 for a brand spanking set of wheels.
I got a grand for a 6 month old set with 7mm of tyres on them.

Personally I'd have taken them home but if its easier for you....
Yea. They have only about 70 miles on them lol.

Phil, you reading this? Throw a bit more discount my way when I order the LSD in a few months yea?

*wink wink*
Very nice, was considering this myself when I collect in March. If you don't mind me asking, what was the total cost after trade in of the STD wheels?

£1500 inc. fitting and £700 px. for the 624Ms.
£1900 inc. fitting for the MP Brakes, with the M Sport Brakes to take home to sell privately.

The prices are as quoted plus fitting in the Cotswold sponsored section of the forum here:


It's a pretty hefty cost upgrade considering little to no performance gains lol. I think it completes the car though. An alternative is to have the stock wheels sprayed a darker colour.

Ouch, but your right it does give it that special something.

I'm a total newbie in terms of modding cars beyond aesthetics. I do like the look of a wider and lower stance but I do have concerns for how it may affect ride and suspension geometry.

Anyone got a lowered and widened F22/F23 with adaptive suspension I can catch a ride in to compare the differences? :wink:
