Lovely!
Did you have the calipers colour coded at the dealer or Is that the norm on SVR? RRS 3.0 SDV6 Autobiography Dynamic MY16 Firenze Red.

Thanks Jasons!

Hi DJH, the blue brembo callipers are standard on the SVR. I changed the alloys to a more simple spoked wheel to expose the callipers a little more and match the gloss black accents on the car.

Also had it lowered by 30mm, stops any roll I find!

All good

Romans International round the corner from me in Banstead have one in the same colour- it is lovely in the flesh, but at over £110k its a little too rich for me! 2012 RRS HSE. Firenze Red.

Looks great I'm only 1 month into my 6 month wait for my SVR

What wheel are they? And are those fixed side steps?

Hi DaveW, sorry, been offline for a while!

The wheels are Vossen VFS1's painted gloss black to match the black accents on the car - Tyres are Pirelli Scorpion 305/35 ZR22's all round.

Gosh, even bigger wheels than the LR 22s. DaveW will be able to comment whether the rolling radius of that combination is within the speedometer calibration tolerance. I assume you've checked the tyre loading is adequate. Is the TPMS still working?

Of interest to me is the fact the tyres are 10mm wider than the LR 22s in an already tight wheel arch. You don't have the spats so I assume you ordered the car with standard 21s and upgraded but I wonder whether the tyres protrude beyond the bodywork which is what the spats are intended to counter. I haven't fitted the spats to mine but I can imagine even wider tyres could be a challenge. If you then include a 30mm lowering of the suspension, I do wonder whether there's a risk of contact with the wheel arch.

Anyway, I'm sure you've covered all bases, hope you enjoy the car! Mark

Ok, from a rolling diameter perspective they're just under 3% smaller than the 295s so you'll get away with it on that front. What worries me is the combination of reduced ride height and compounded by a lower than recommended sidewall height.
