Yep the look & feel are just about the same and I prefer the Velar wheel… Just need to swap out the red paddles as I really can’t live with them any longer

Despite me having a (irrational?) view that all stressing wheels should have a black rim, definitely the Velar wheel.

Agree re the red paddles, black or silver would be much better MY23 Panamera E-Hybrid

Thanks for the input Martin… Yes agreed I couldn’t have a complete colour coded wheel! That really wouldn’t work! And would drive me mad!!!

Solid Ali silver paddles I think… 👍

It's amazing the difference a steering wheel can have to the overall feel of a car.

Once my L322 is back on the road I need to start looking for inspiration on that wheel too. Can't work out whether to look for one or send mine off to be retrimmed, possibly reshaped.

So, finally went to collect my newly refurbished parcel shelf… Now covered in lovely ivory leather! Gave up waiting for the JLR ordered shelf, as it’s only been on order now for 10 months! Bloody useless beggars @ JLR parts…

Very nice, that was a big cow...  Pete

Thank you Pete… He has a few more bits he is restoring for me…

So what happened this space 😬

Changed the tyres this week to a slightly larger set of Pirelli's. So gone from 275/40/23 to 285/40/23... All fits perfectly and no rubbing, even on access mode and lock to lock...

If there's no pictures it didn't happen....  Pete

As the tyres get bigger/more sidewall the ride gets better and better Stan…

Ya know it’s funny, my wife drives my old car now with 21’s on and I find the driving experience very very different in that! Kind of soggy! Don’t think it’s my extra wheel base! It drove much better IMHO on 22’s (but they get ruined on kerbs with her driving 🤫🤐)
