What have you done to your car today?

16's? WAY better to drive on 16's aren't they :) My 17's just scrubbed like mad and I aren't even as low as yours looks.

Yeah 16's on 45 profile tyres, I reckon I could go lower and still not rub as the tyres aren't as far into the arches as they were on 17's which only rubbed with a full car:D
 
I dunno why mine rubbed with 17's on if yours was fine until you had a full load, any corner I attempted at more than sedate grandad speeds met with scrapage at the front :)

My 16's are perfect, no catching, more nimble, wheels are loads lighter too and it handles really nicely. Got some old 15's on for winter though.

Still can't go wrong with race 1.2's, got any full profile pics etc? :)

Just the one side profile pic, there's plenty of room to go lower but tbh it's about right as it is, plus any lower and I'd tear the splitter straight off :D They look good with the front brake upgrade too, nice and snug!

Going to pick up some black caps to go over the wheel nuts which should tidy them up.

I seem to be doing less and less on my car and more and more on my other half's bloody 207. Today I fixed the grouding issue that caused one of the rear light clusters not to work, and shod it with two new tyres. They were practically bald :/

Looks good. How much and where from? I've been trying to get hold of some 15's and some coilovers without much luck.

:(

In my defence this was during the downpour from the other night, didn't quite see the curb and *scrape* :( - So that's another £30 odd to refurb that....

On the upside, loving the gater still. Think I'll stick with this type instead of normal leather from here onwards.

Oh yes, that was at a driveway where they had a rock on the corner of the grass to stop people driving over the lawn when exiting their driveway which just happened to be small enough to not be seen in the mirror :o

That was a while back though and since been all sorted!

£30 is pretty cheap for a refurb tbh, are they the guys you used before?

Yeah, mate's rate.
 
That an alcantara gaiter set mrk? I've just replaced mine for leather ones from eBay, but am far from happy with either. My steering wheel needs a re trim desperately too.

Good rate!

Very good rate..where's that from Robbie? Annoyingly I've already kerbed one of my newly refurbed wheels :( Even more annoyingly the car should have been safely tucked up outside the flat but I had to rush out to babysit for the gf's sister :mad:

I've guilt tripped her into putting some money towards it, but it's still pretty gutting seeing as they were only done a few weeks ago!
 
I need to find someone who isn't going to tear me a new ring to return my Style 5s as well, but nobody around here will touch them which is annoying.:(
