Bob Mortimer on Would I Lie To You is an excellant rabbit hole to go down...
-
Yes... I'm looking around as we speak for a reasonable set of colour ones. Ones straight from Porsche are, predictably, a bit pricey.
-
Yeah pics would be good.
Not the most interesting picture, but I got my wheels back from the place in Ealing... Would still recommend, they've done a good job as far as I can tell.
Still a valve cap / crest alignment fail...

Which was the point I remember arguing with some Elon fanboi on reddit years ago
Right - I've thought that for years; the minute you can buy an electric Mercedes / BMW / VW / Honda / almost any car manufacturer, you'd likely never buy a Tesla instead. And that seems to be happening now (or possibly next year once they make enough to meet the demand - like you say, everyone seems sold out now).
-
Ferrari pictures prompted me to look up this guy again - he was stuffing a v12 into a (blue) 308 a few years ago (and seemed to be re-machining most of it along the way)
Looks like he finished it - c. 850 hp, bit smoky but sounds pretty great
-
Thanks for the info. That sounds very much like making sure your tyre labels are aligned with your valve cap, and is therefore the kind of pointless pedantry I can totally get behind.
I'm obviously embarrassed to see that the photo I posted is exactly 180 degrees wrong.

Assume they just copy pasted (or equivalent) whatever the description is in the archive they got the image from - Wireimage in that case

I get mine done at West4Autos in Chiswick, it gets it at the same time as an annual service . VAG specialists, but they've been doing my Focus for years.
I'd recommend them, they're a good garage in my experience.

I got them done here:

Not sure if they have a website, but they've done a Golf and Focus set for me in the past and I've been happy - £250 a set (more if they're buckled or need machining).
Can post pictures of these when they're back if you like?
I've read all sorts of reasons why he's done it - one of them suggested it gave him a reasonable reason to liquidate a lot of Tesla stock - which is overpriced - in anticipation of a fall.
