Title: Autosport/Pistonhead show (photos)
Post by: NeilM on January 09, 2009, 11:25:15 am
Went to the NEC on the trade day yesterday, not sure the stands are the same for public days (Sat & Sun) but the Engineering stands (Hall 9) Quaife, Forge etc are very interesting if your into engineering, saw a few anorak's needing resuscitation.

Great F1 display, and some real nice stuff (Prodrive's white Aston Martins) and plain stupid (Stretched Ferrari Limo with gull wing doors).

My poor mates at AMD were opposite this stand.

Great day lots to see, think it may be crowded (for me anyway) the weekend though.

Stopped by your stand, think I was chatting to Phillip, seriously considering those 18" CH Black Edition. I'll be in touch soon.

Nice chatting to you, that was one trick chair if you dont mind be saying !

Yep a very busy few days. Lots of sticker blaggers

Was working the stand with the head of BBS Motorsport Germany and BBS America, real gents, years of experience.

Kuschall R33, Carbon Fibre, Titanium and a coil over shock, they are good for something in Switzerland   :happy2:

How can I work out what ET I need on the Black edition CH's ? I have a 10mm spacer on the front to get past the Brembo's, I think the edition 30 wheels are 7.8J x 18 ET51  PCD 5 x 112 with 225 40 tyres.

Is it possible to have the ET so I dont need a spacer? Can you PM me a price

Thanks Neil
