You don't see the right side overflow? You've got to get them no wider than 500 pixels. I'm not sure what you did, but it doesn't look any different to me.

No right side overflow here on my laptop using the reduced size. I'll go check the size on Photobucket.
 
[edit] 730 x 550 Yes, a little bigger than 500 pixels. Sorry, next time will use links.

Could be my default font size ... if they are not wider than 500 pixels, they'll be fine for everyone else. Sorry for the confusion, I'll be quiet now.

The wheels look great! They look like original equipment.

Here are some additional photos of my 2004 Phaeton V8 sporting 2004 Bentley Continental GT 5-spoke painted wheels and Pirelli PZero Rosso 275 40 19 tires. I am 100 percent thrilled with it!

Pricing / Sirius ready by mdk0416

I've been researching the Phaeton for a few weeks now. Seems like a great buy if you don't plan on reselling in the near future. I'm hoping to get some feedback on a couple of items:
 
1. Does anyone know what I should be paying for a used 2004 V8 with 10 - 20 K miles? Pricing seems to vary quite a bit.
2. Is the 2004 Phaeton Sirius ready? I wouldn't want to clutter the beautiful inside lines with some fm modulator hanging off of my windshield.
 
Thanks for the help.

A/C question by jb317
Jan 09, 2006 (6:21 pm)

I've owned my V8 for a month or so and had a problem with the a/c. The wooden covers over the vents wouldn't retract no matter what I did. Anyway according to my dealer they just hadn't been activated, which he did.
 
However, I'm still not sure everything is working properly. Does anyone know whether the air vents are inoperable unless the ventilation is switched to manual or the temperature differences extreme i.e. if the a/c is on automatic and you try and adjust the vents using the switches below they will not respond and the LED lights will remain off? If that is the case is there a way to get warm air to your body and fresh air to your face?

Poor Stereo Reception Typical? by phaetonfan1
Jan 16, 2006 (10:06 am)

I'm an '05 owner w/ 18,000 miles. I've had poor reception from the beginning - been in the shop twice so far, with no evident improvement from "booster" installation. The upgraded stereo produces truly spectacular sound for CDs or when reception is good, but there are many pockets in Southern Calif where this car just doesn't receive, am or fm. Does everyone else have poorer reception than experienced with other cars, or might mine really be fixable? Appreciate any input. Thanks.

Sounds to me like your vents work properly. The buttons below work more to close a vent when the auto temp control would have them open.
