I did them in a satin black finish that is very good at hiding the dust. I rarely felt the need to clean them. Cool
I had to clean the white wheels inside & out every time I drove it, a little ocd really but I hate wheel dust. The satin black cured me big grin

I would have gone for a look or test drive this week if I lived nearer.

I'd either better start saving up or buy a lottery ticket this weekend! Cool

Yep, owning a big sports bike is the same. You need that little power slide every now and again to remind you.

There's getting it 'a bit out of shape' & there's careering sideways out of control on the opposite side of the road at 100 with only a tractor or a wall or a white Audi TT to stop you big grin

The f**king thing is lethal. It might be better now it has new boots but the down force issue & the lift off 'spin you round on the brakes' will still be there.

It's an evil evil car being evil

sound just up my street smile i spend ages getting my rally cars to handle like that smile saves on the effort of steering round corners lol, you needed to soften your rear suspension abit probably, take the anti roll bar out would stop th elift off oversteer and dial in some understeer which is more predictable and controllable or just stop lifting off lol

You are probably right Phil. A bloody good dose of talent wouldn't go amiss either laughing I have no shame in admitting I'm no driving god, quite the opposite. I have acquired a sense of mortality these days too, which doesn't help. Never had that when I was a young man & blind speed was much more fun Shocked
