Hi. Picked up my 57 plate TDV8 last night and first impressions (of ownership, rather than test drive), is what a fantastic drive. It's a cliche but the car practically drove itself home!

I'm not one for making many changes to the manufacturer's standard spec (it has privacy glass and sunroof), however, I love the Stormer alloys and I see that replicas with tyres are available for between £800 to £1,000. Does anyone have any experience of these and is there anything I should be aware of?

Also I'm likely to add chrome mirror covers and possibly side-steps. I would be interested to know if anyone has recommendations as to where I might buy these?

Great forum by the way!!

I fitted OE Stormers to ours as I was a little worried about potential issues such as:

Are they manufactured to withstand the rigours of a 2.5 tonne 4x4?

Warranty issues?

Quite often in life (But not always ) you get what you pay for.

I have never been one to entertain fake goods, be they watches or wheels.
