Wheels under the aero covers?

[jamakr4]

Just wanted to know how the alloys actually look under the covers (are they the same as the pre facelift ones)?

Truely one of a kind but not as bad as the previous luxury ones

Definitely not nice enough to be left uncovered.

Nope do not think you could make those look nice.
But I quite like the new aero covers it has,more like the original ones before they swapped Trophy to those horrid ones IMHO.
How much softer is the ride compared to the X Power by the way?

Those are seriously ugly

Yeah - the epitome of function over form.

It's funny you should ask that, on our journey this morning, the wife and I both realized and commented that it was noticeably smoother over the usual lumps and bumps in the road, this is obviously due to softer suspension because the wheels/tyres are the same size as the X-Power.

Ugly, but easy to clean. Every cloud etc.

Removing the aero cover.

For those with an aversion to YouTube ( ) .. simply howk it off.

But looks much easier than the previous ones. I remember when the salesman wanted to show me the wheels, but couldn't pull them off because the fit was that strong.

At home, I wanted to retight the bolts, but it ended up being a two-person job to get them off.

Thanks for sharing, I am ok but other half is not keen on the firmer ride especially after an hour or so in the car. She swears I aim for every bump in the road on purpose and feels it in her lower back.

I like the colour...but not the wheels. They seem to be getting more ugly. when I get my next one I'll leave the covers on...a year or two away possibly.
These are mine uncovered and I quite like them, I've seen worse.

I had the dealer remove mine, I couldn't get them off either. The techie said he had to use long nose pliers from the inside of the wheels and on the ramp to get into them off. I wasn't wanting to scratch the surface.
