....I've finally got around to saying hello to you all! :roundel:

I bought my 2007 3.0i SE coupe from Uber GT in Reading (great show room!) in Feb 2014 and loved it from day one. I only recently replaced the run flats for Pilot Sports, today I had the Hunter alignment done at Station View Garage in Dorking and am very happy to recommend them, along with Uber GT. I waited so long to replace them as there was still plenty of tread on the run flats when I bought the car, however the difference in the drive is like night and day so wish I'd done it sooner in hindsight. Anyway, here's a few pictures, I'm an awful photographer...

Hello- great looking car! Do you mind telling telling me what the Hunter alignment cost? I'm thinking of getting it done and Dorking is close to me.

If it's anything near what I recently paid up here in Shropshire it will be £80.00.

Thanks all! Forgot how long I'd been researching on here before I found the car I wanted.

The garage charged £20 for the initial evaluation then £70 for the required adjustments. Their charge will vary depending on how much work needs done.
