[daz5182]

very nice pal, like it a lot, where did you get the plates?

Cheers mate.  Got the plates off ebay.  Had them on now for about 18 months without any problems (Touches Wood!)

any idea of the seller mate?

Cheers

I live just off of Heage Road on Copper Beeches. I'll be sure to flash you next time you pass.

Sootchuckers rule  

we are taking over

Fecking diseasals!

But joking apart, it does look a very nicely modded Mk5 GT . OZ wheels are great aren't they  

Loving the pic on the beach. I hope you checked the tides first!

[GTsport]

PMSL!!!  Its never been called a Diseasal before ha ha

Thanks for the comment    I am quite pleased with the wheels, wanted something a bit different & they're very light  

Thankfully with the beech, the sea was about a mile a way - its the pic of the rear on the way home that might disturb detailing fans







Was good fun, but i dont think i'll be doing that again in a hurry!!!

^^ Had any issues with the plates and the law yet?

What's the 140 actually like on fuel too mate, do you hit near 50mpg combined like the majority rave that they allegedly do?

I live by the police head quarters for Derbyshire and I've not had any problems in the 18 months I've had them. I reckon the GB logo might make them abit less obvious.

With Mpg, 46 & 550 miles is usually my average, with half town & half normal driving. I reckon if I drove it sensible all the time I'd get 50+ easily but I can't resist an occasional boot 

My best yet was a trip to Northumberland and I got 55 and 670 miles.

....I'm afraid that I'd prefer to remember a journey for the spirited driving fun I had rather than a high mpg number.

I once had to lead the way back to my home for about 60 miles and my friend following was (and still is) dedicated to environmental issues and won't ever drive above 60 mph even on a clear dry motorway. I did one of my highest mpg IIRC but I was bored senseless and had to make an excuse to him while I went out for a quick blast when we got to my place. I remember that journey home well, but for the wrong reasons and it still makes me wince!

Me too however i did have a car full of kit and 2 mountain bikes on my roof for this journey, so not really the best set up for spirited driving!

Just a bit of an update:

Pressed plates Removed

Carbon Badge Removed

And some Genuine BBS CH028's added









Still undecided as whether to keep them  

[rdfcpete]

Begging for a drop but once you have, I think you'll fall in love with them (Look at Mortygttdis/Darren's, he's on similar wheels with a drop)

A very nice wheel and they'll bounce off the black of the body if you put it on lower suspension  
4th pic is my fave. Very clean too, nice effort fella.

[Andy]

liking them wheels but i would say that :signLOL:as pete mentions needs lowering a bit

[Banham]

Great looking car, always good to have more diesels around 
i got a 140 as well such and amazing car and so good on fuel. Ive only managed to get a 630 miles out of it but i must have a heavier foot
Wheels look so nice  was thinking about getting some BBS CH028 myself
