i do a lot of delivery driving and town driving and i get about 35-38 mpg, but thats not driving like a christian tho. wish i get get 42mpg, but don't do enough Mway cruising to get that :( i was driving from glasgow back home to edin last night, had to slow down at police hotspots just in case, but it is surprising how few police are on the roads. not sure if this is a good or bad thing. but the journey took about 35 mins from glasgow city centre.

The kit is a JE Design job, designed for the FR, about £680.
I have previously posted details of it.
Supplied by Superspeed in Edinburgh.

I am well travelled, I live in Glasgow but I work in Edinburgh, hence the 31,000 miles in 1.5 years ownership since new. Gulp...

is that £680 fitted??

awesome kit...... IMO way nicer than the BTCC kit!

toNes, that £680 was just for the kit.
Expensive but I do like being different.
Cheers for your opinion.
I also think it's nicer than the BTCC kit.
From the front it looks a bit like the current Diesel BTCC & WTCC model.
The Bodyshop who painted & fitted the kit and Refurbished my Wheels took £500.

used to pass your car every day on my way to my old work up in uddingston.

i can vouch for campsie coachworks standard of work aswell as they are local to me and i've had some stuff done in there over the years.

Car looks gorgeous! Totally stunning. Not a fan of black wheels, but I have to admit that your car just looks awesome with them.

I'm needing some wheel work owing to being run off the road by a coach recently in the Lake District and on another occasion, having a tyre replaced which the garage managed to take chunks of paint off an otherwise undamaged wheel. Will give Campsie Coachworks a ring.

CupraDaft, I do recomend Campsie Coachworks in Lennoxtown.

I am hoping to have new alloys soon, I have my eye on a nice set of black Oz Ultraleggera wheels with Goodyear F1 eagles.
I have been quoted £1500 from Gordon Hazelton's in Hillington.
Almost reasonable.
Lol.

I am single handily trying to keep our struggling economy afloat.

I'm not too sure how they are for doing actual repairs on wheels. I'd presume this man heres wheels were in perfect nick and just got painted?

If Campsie cant do the job then give ESP down in Possil a shout.. details below

Hi Canis, will deffo sound them out as yours look fab. Now I'm wondering about a different colour!!

S2TTB, funnily enough, I was thinking the very same thing on the way home tonight, I think that might be the sticking point. Only one way to find out. Thanks for the heads up about ESP though.
