Nice motor and LR registration, I keep looking for a number plate holder like yours but they all seem to have Porche, or BMW written on them Sad

Welcome to the forum, it must be a big change from the BMW for you. You'll soon realise you should have done it years ago Thumbs Up Russell

The preboosts should be ok as long as they can take the weight of the 110 and are TUV approved

Assuming they're genuine alloys, they're fine:

EDIT: Although actually it says they're only for pre-2007 vehicles - why would that be?


Nice truck Thumbs Up

How can they be fine, when LR state pre 2007 vehicles only. Richard

Either a 90, 110 or 130.

I edited my post when I noticed the 07 thing Rolling Eyes

In terms of 'fine' I'm sure the change has to do with type approval rather than any design considerations. The GVW hasn't changed has it, nor has the axle or hub design? So fine here, maybe not in Germany.
