L405 subtle changes

So I bought another l405 and it’s great.

However, it’s a little dull on the appearance for my liking.

So far I’ve 3 staged machine polished it myself to bring out the cobalt paint shine, Refurbished the wheels, and had the roof wrapped silver.

On the way is silver door slat replacements. And possibly 22” turbines.

Should I keep the 21” silver wheels or go for the 22” turbine wheels with anthracite inner and diamond cut face?

Here’s mine with silver roof and 22” turbines. I’d say go for them!

Turbines are bit blingy for my taste. I have your wheels and they look great. (and easy to clean) Spend your cash on something else. 405 AB exec seats Baltic and Cirrus

Love the turbines and the vents in silver look good on a dark car. Personally I’d keep the roof blue

Coming from a man with a silver roof, I’d say stick with the blue roof too. I’d get mine wrapped or respected to body colour but can’t be bothered with the hassle at the moment.

I recently changed from 21s to 22s on my blue l405. Wanted turbines but found a set of these instead. Brand new take offs so as new and at a price I couldn't refuse. Have black grill on mine and considering full black pack

Thanks for the comments, so how did you find the ride changed from 21” to 22”?

I personally love the silver roof, really lifts the car and makes it stand out for me, so that will be staying for sure

So I have 22” wheels coming but I think I’ll give them to my father who also has an l405 in Firenze red on 20’s

I want the 21” diamond cut wheels, It’s the wheel of choice for me 19 L405 4.4 AB + Disco3 pick up + 800BHP Rothmans 911

I don’t think genuine turbines come in a 21” size. They will most likely be replicas.

I've got turbines and I like them ....

.... however, on the nearside they go forwards and on the offside they go backwards. I'm guessing that's just being picky?

I actually find the ride better on 22s to 21s. But this may be due to going from 2/3rds worn scorpion verdes to brand new scorpion zeros Paul

Side vents fitted, I’ve decided against the 22” purely because I prefer the ride and look of 21” 19 L405 4.4 AB + Disco3 pick up + 800BHP Rothmans 911

Decided against the 22”

My father had the 22” instead, he changed from 20” so they look lovely on his.
