| CUE99T Member Since: 02 Oct 2011 Location: Glasgow Posts: 779    | Alistair - As of July I still couldn't get a build date for the Merc so I just cancelled it as I don't want to wait that long for a new car tbh, and Ive lost over 6 figures with COVID loss of business with no government support, so I'm going just keep the car for now until next year now, and if I don't see anything I like then I'\ll maybe add an SVO kit to it, so just going to "tidy" the car up and replace the tyres for now and refurb the wheels.  It needs a new back brake light so might swap out the lights for SVO ones. all smug in my new plug!

| Alistair Member Since: 11 Feb 2011 Location: Peterborough / Alicante / Andorra Posts: 8136      | I've done that before - the cost of the 'take offs' was less than the cost of the tyres & a refurb - and more convenient.

| dolph34 Member Since: 14 Sep 2015 Location: Kildare Posts: 1724      | I've had some real bargains from ebay with take offs but just the tyres . My current set of Pirellis were bought for less than a third of new and had covered less than a few hundred miles.  22' contis on mine when I got it but I found them noisy so changed to Pirelli Verde. 2015 4.4 AB
