Just how fast were you going..... Do you imagine that it'll be easy to colour match?

I was meant to post up that I think I saw your car last Tuesday at around 1645hrs near the Duchess of Kent Hospital in Catterick. I was on a two-day course there last Tues/Wed and stayed in Middleham... Noticed the Forge sticker on the rear door and thought.... no it couldn't be.

They have never fitted flush when they were last taken off….the front always pops up at random times and this time on a windy motorway run grrrrr will have to get them sprayed to match rest of the car its even a pain trying to find 2nd hand ones as new ones cost £58 each.

That’s Quite a drive for you just for a two day course, and not seen any other LCR’s in yellow with rear forge stickers soooooooo must have been me coming back from my gf’s funny tho that you spotted me and you’re all the way from Cambridgeshire as I never get seen “tips my hat 2ya”

And got them fitted/Balanced for £25.
(cheers fast-fit)

Off with the old Falken ziex ze912 and on with the new 452's.....

Let us know how you get on in terms of grip also in wet,cos I will be ordering 2.

 

[Mr_Dave]

FK452s aren't the best in the wet. But then, you don't go tear-arsing in the wet

Pretty good in the dry though, imo

well if your money fund is low or just don’t want to spend crazy money on tyres but like me don’t want crap or part worn tyres then for the price they are not bad at all don’t have a bad thing to say a bout the Falken ziex ze912. so the 452’s should be as good if not little better with it been the Falken flagship tyre.

Every day drive in the Falken Ziex ze912’s dry or wet grip was good and even with some quick back road driving handle well, even with the best tyres still have to drive to the conditions
