    It's a T-5R therefore it should be titans all the way, they just don't look right with anything else, including Volans

    I agree, I'd love Volans on my v70 but the titans look so right on them. I'm in love with our local 855 Gul. Don't change it mate.

    Volans are better looking, but you gotta keep it original so titans.

    Volans...had titans but changed them ...also changed out the Alcantara in mine for full leather..the leather on a CD model is much better quality than that in a T5R

    Originality ...doesnt bother me ...if i was buying it new this would have been the way i wanted it, i think these upgrades are in line with OEM so acceptable

    It has to be titans Pete, if it was any other than the iconic Gull I might say otherwise but its just the way it was meant to be!!!
    Arguing is pointless....she may not be right but she's never wrong

    Tell her a remap is just having your satnav updated.....
