Owned my 2017 ATB SDV8 for 3-4 weeks now.
Love the car, not as quiet as I was expecting but I think its the Pirelli tyres.
Got a few issues to sort so will be sourcing some info from this forum.

One thing I would like to do is swap over the door trims from body colour code to the same colour as the silver trims. I think they'll stand out better.
Any ideas where to buy?

'Powerful UK' do these in three or four sections and various colours and there is always the old Fleabay etc obviously, enjoy the new car

@V8Russ:

It’s a Marmite thing.

I much prefer the body colour gills as being more subtle myself, or maybe even Corris Grey with chrome strips a-la Aliexpress if you can find them, but yes go for whatever floats your boat, but keep your originals to give the next owner the choice.  V6 Vogue - “Less is More” - less to go wrong!

PS:

Pirelli tyres with PNCS should be among the quietest available (older Scorpions may not be PNCS, check the sidewalls).
Mine is on four newish 22” Verdes, and they are pretty quiet compared to my Ranger Wildtrak on similer AS tyres, admittedly on 18’s with big 60 sidewalls. V6 Vogue - “Less is More” - less to go wrong!

Definitely marmite - I went the other way - bought with Atlas silver & changed to body coloured.
With your colour it may be more subtle, but vs black I realy didn't like it.

It's great that we have choice & we all like different things - some people think a silver roof looks great - I hate them.....

You have my FFRR's exact twin by the looks of it

Nice choice Enjoy!

@Kot:

There doesn’t seem much between them, other than Verdes are higher mileage, how do they compare price-wise? Both have PNCS now. V6 Vogue - “Less is More” - less to go wrong!

And Verde’s are 100% better in the snow 👍

I fitted Verdes because thats what it came with, no other reason:

Mike in snow and wet grip, Scorpion Zero is better, in ice Verde is better


Scorpion zero are much the same price but shop around.

According to Pirelli themselves, ice/snow are the other way around, check the Pirelli website.  V6 Vogue - “Less is More” - less to go wrong!
