    Bearings gave up :(. Had a feeling when I bought it that it hadn't long left in it but thought it would be a year or so, not 3 months!

    That sucks man

    Those are the most Toyota buttons i've ever seen!

    Miss the seats already. The focus seats are awful, feels like sitting in a desk chair in comparison. Have a plan though :)

    You have that backwards, you get better MPG in warm weather, worse performance. :)

    EDIT: Did you mean because the aircon is on? Ahhh who cares. :D

    It still needs a really good scrub and will probably change the wheels on it don the line just not sure for hat wheels yet but its coming along imo.

    what yous think of these for wheels? 19" of an x5 would they suit?
    Also is there a headache involved in making these fit?

    I have a headache looking at them, but it's your car and your money:).


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,690 ✭✭✭✭Skylinehead


    Don't like that X5 wheel at all myself.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 318 ✭✭howyegettinon1

    yeah I'm not too sure about them myself, their lying around my job so though I'd throw them up beside the car see what they look like.

    Would love the 19" spiders but they are a bit steep and I think you can only get 19" replicas


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,180 ✭✭✭UnknownSpecies


    Wouldn't be a big fan of those X5 wheels either. I might be a bit biased but those 18" style 135s you have on it look great :D

    yeah like them too only if they were an inch or two bigger to fill the arches a bit more they would be perfect!!!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,180 ✭✭✭UnknownSpecies

    Are those 17" or 18" you have? I would have thought the 18" was enough to fill the arches but they definitely look a bit small.

    18" lowering it might fill the arches a bit more but don't want to go down that road. Ideally 20" but for practicality 19" would be bit more comfortable

    Only the chrome around the windows is wrapped by the looks of it? Looks a lot better wrapped though!!

    Subtle mods :D. Looks well

    Love the look of it marty.

    Very clean E60 with a great interior. An executive car worthy of a thread.
