Can I ask how much something like that costs to get done? I’ve only ever paid a tenner at a car hand wash place, or had half a go myself.

What's with the matte strip below the rear screen ? Is that standard ?
You've got me browsing Cayenne GTS now, btw...

I have a local mobile guy, first time I used him it was £50 for exterior (wash and wax) and interior. I had just come back from a week in Scotland and few days in Exmoor so the car was filthy. Since then he’s changed me £30 each time. Quick and better job than me doing it myself.Mito Man wrote: Fri Jul 10, 2020 10:31 am In Kent on the local Facebook group there’s 3 detailers charging £45-50 just for an exterior wash and that’s on a small Polo sized car. Add £15 for each size up and £15 more for interior - feck that.
There’s a company which do a lot of the cars under my flat, from £150 for a wash but it’s a 2 bucket wash

Michelin Pilot Sport 4 tyres are a step up from Asymetric 3s.
Lots of smeary grippy grip, quieter definitely but they don’t have the same feel in the wet. They are a little numb.
When the tears need changing it’ll be for these.

Yes. Is that a pilot Supersport?

Yes Mik - I think they will need replacing with 4s' eventually. Mot next month hence the Q.
Not much tread on em other than the large grooves but the wear markers are a bit to go yet.

Yeah - the MOT tester that our Lotus Indie uses failed the Evora for both front tyres Due to outer edge wear. He passed it once the indie showed him pics of a new one. It passed the MOT with the same ones on the next year. They are due changed now....

Good to hear - these are getting on a bit according to the date stamp. They work great in this weather tho but are shit in the wet.

I still have nightmares about the cost or replacing 2 Supersports on the back of the VXR8. Even worse when after 200 miles a shard of metal ripped through one of them

Ha they are not cheap! PSS fitted are 232.00 v 217 for the 4s - bit of a jump from 110 for the Golf

After having 19s on the M3 and 320d I just have it in my head that tyres cost £250 a corner. Anything less is a bargain!
