It hasn't all been rosy though.
The handling is odd. I believe I'm just a victim of run flats but its taking some getting used to. On a nice flat road its just gorgeous, but when there are ridges and pot holes it can tramline and pull a bit. I have been reading about my options for replacing them with normal tyres and either making room in the boot for a spare or carrying a small compressor + tyre foam stuff incase the worst happens. Prob is the Potenza's on it have SO much life left.
Can anybody else corroborate my run flats experiences?
My chrome window trims are super scratched and scuffed, so I plasti-dipped them black. Looked so shit, was so happy to be able to remove it straight away.
Also, I've found evidence of a terrible repair. So terrible that I'm almost embarresed that I missed this when looking at the car initially (though not nearly bad enough for me to not buy the car.)
The passenger side has had some kind of repair. The doors and bonnet trim gaps are a little off and there is a shit respray job done on the top of the doors. There is a bit of overspray and some paint coming off. The door jams and pillars are all original, so its just panel or paint damage thats been repaired. I'm not sure its worth fixing, but I would like to stop it getting worse, so I might just lay some clear coat on it. What do you think?
The first two pics are damage I did when I bumped it with my polisher, it just ate through. You can see some of the over spray in the third pic, but theres more than that.
