Firstly welcome to the site buddy :wave:

Only real way to solve the tyres deflating is to have the alloys reconditioned. Otherwise they usually keep slowly going down.

To remove/replace the bottom orange grill you need to remove the bumper and then it is held on with self-tapping screws from behind.

Welcome... what tyres are you using? I run mine at 32psi but haven't driven it for 3 weeks so can't remember how badly it tramlines. Certainly does a little...

By the BRM Data Sheet it's 28 at the front and 30 at the back.

I run 32 psi all round (including the spare :) ), and it tramlines like a, erm, tram. Par for the course I think. At least it makes you realise you're driving something special! :):):)

Yeah mine tramlines to, but something I'm willing to put up with as the grip and handling seem to be excellent, especially with new tyres all round.

nope, seems the only tramlining I get is on the inside lane of the motorways...

Falken FK452's and run at 30 all round..

Bearing in mind that when hot CAN rise as much as 3 psi..

No real Tramline issues - maybe the 28 at the front explains why people say BRM's shred tyres.. 28 psi with the engine weight and braking weight...:wacko:
