Hi ... got mine replaced last year under warranty... now fading/going white again!... will get them replaced again while still under warranty... after dunno?... may have new wheels by then.

 

I noticed that the Chrysler logos on my wheel centers were going white, fortunately I noticed this before I collected the car so the dealer got a new set for me...

 

hi bollox. you now what. i'm going to put round chrome discs in. i was at the plumbers on monday thy had chrome discs 55mm across. all get one and see how it look. i think it well look cool. let you now.

 

I've had all four centre caps replaced under warranty for the same thing and also had all four wheels replaced under warranty for the lacquer lifting.

ummm... my rims = rashed ... Is this the same as lacquer lifting? I presumed I would end up having to buy new wheels (perhaps ones where the rubber hits a curb before the rim)... but a nice new set for free would be good... it is a shame that I am terminally honest.

 

Hi Folks,

Great idea, I'm up for this as a new member to this forum. Who is organizing this? When is the first meeting likely to be?

Cheers,
Marko

ps - I'm Harlow based.

 

Been a member for some time now but infrequent visits to site...must try harder.
Owned a 53 xfire Coupe (Met Blue) for 2.5 yrs now 60k on it.
Been a dream to drive but expensive to run. Tyres and servicing mainly but had to have bottom swivel joints (ball joints) for its 1st MOT last Dec and just replacing the front brake pads this weekend.
Nice to see so many members now as they were thin on the ground at one time.

 

I'm around a few times a week. Recent purchase of a Crossfire Coupe Love it...Just wish there was a Crossfire Owners Club in the UK. Would be happy to assist in starting one, any other UK owners feel the same?

Hi,

Add me to an UK crossfire meetings...There are enough UK names here already to start the very first UK crossfire owners club... Any owners interested?

Ken

 

Hi Ken, as per my email reply add me to the list too.

Simon.

 

Yup, I'd be interested...

 

Count me in too (very keen)... I might even be willing to do a web site and club decals/designs come the autumn.

I would love to do some car shows to really show our cars off! (although I may well have spoiled mine with far too many shiny things stuck on it - blingo).

Just got back from a road trip round cornwall, no other xfires seen (did see three ferrari's though (common as muck!) and the rubber necking was unreal.

BTW ... went to dealer today for B service and had a good look at a 2007 UK spec roadster. I could only find one difference from my 2005 ... can you spot the new stuff ?



I hate this so much, surely any newbie would instantly remove this tacky branding!

 

"Chrysler logo" just sick a decent...not to large... chrome V6 badge behind it!

Ken.

 

Me too.

If anyone wants to meet up in the next few weeks I will be at a trackday on Saturday 4th August at Bruntingthorpe (J20 M1). There may still be some places left but you can still just turn up to spectate and hover around the paddock, or take a passenger ride.

Simon.

 

We hope all of you UK members are safe and dry and unaffected by the rain and flooding and electric outages. And all of your cars, too. The coverage here on TV is not pretty. Stay out of harm's way if you can.

 

Hi,

Thanks for your concern. Not so bad on the South Coast of England, were I live, but being located near a major river in middle England is no fun at the moment and sadly a lot of people according to the press are not insured for flood damage. There is talk of the river Thames which runs through London busting its banks, lets hope not.

Ken.

 

Hi,

I'm more up towards the middle, 50 miles North of London. Fortunately, I'm not close to a river so have been unaffected.

I confess, it was all my fault, I bought a roadster a couple of months back and have hardly seen a dry day since...

The car is not garaged, but has held up perfectly against all the downpours we've had. Absolutely no water ingress or dampness anywhere...

 

HI all, just joined the site i would like to meet up with a few xfire owners. Just did a trackday at bruntingthorpe on my bike gsxr750 suzuki. The prospect of doing it in the car sounds good. When is this happening ???

 

Welcome...There are quite a few UK X fires owners listed. and a few in your neck of the woods. My self and a few other are on or around the South Coast. Look forward to chatting or meeting one day.
