HI Mark

Regarding the service, 2year service is a major service
approx. 1500€ inkl. tax.

tyres we have 2 options,
one is the bridgestone which is now fitted on your v8

option is pirelli sport tyre which is 285 on rear and 245 front
so 1cm wider than the bridgestone.looks great on the car
and is allowed with no modification on the car and papers.

prices are

bridgestone 1513€ inkl. tax
pirelli corsa 2058€ inkl.tax

the prices are for a vehicle set plus 125€ for labour.




I think the tyres are expensive. Apex in peterborough (Mark) quoted me about 210 a tyre for the bridgestones fitted.

I'm expecting my 20k miler to be ~1,000GBP.

They also asked if I wanted the rear tyres changing (3mm left. I think not!) and quoted 278GBP each. However, you can get them fitted for as little as 210GBP (each) if you shop around.

So your prices are expensive. Serves you right for being in Europe biggrin

PS Did I really say "as little as 210GBP (each)"? I've changed!!

Now I know why I use the 7 for track use!

Well compared to £350+ on my CL, that isn't bad! Says something when the daily drive has more expensive tyres that the exotic in the garage!
