Good to see she's still in use! She hasn't been taxed since I sold her in February! Where did you see her advertised? Does she still have the towbar? Alex She should be taxed now well I hope it is hahah I put my Granada limo up for swaps and a guy offered me it yeah the tow bar is still on it but I'm thinking about taking it off

Looks fab - one of my favourite cars.
Whatever mods you do, don't do anything that will ultimately have an effect on the inner wings / strut towers as they are a bit weak and can be problematic.
What mpg do you get?

Glad to see this went to a new home, great looking car. I have a Viceroy which is the slightly smaller brother to the Royale. I've left mine virtually standard, just closed the arch gap and fitted 16's.

Same PCD as BMW but you need to be careful with offset, std offset is ET49 which is a bit FWD but as long as you aim for ET30 min (ET 36 works well on 7.5 inch rims) even if it's had a little drop.

8s and 9s but the rear arch would need work I reckon. I don't have a shot of it sat with the weight on the suspension. These are 17s but can't remember offset. Sent from my holiday using proboards
