Camskill are very good for tyres. They always have some form of discount on a lot of their stock and its next day delivery.

Cheers for that - saved to favourites, ready for when I need to do this myself.

Btw, the painbt job on the engine cover looks great and really makes the bay look neat and tidy - what did you use to paint it with?

I sent the engine cover to a bodyshop once i was done cutting it, painted it with the same Red color code as the leon, so it's just a normal spray body paint

Give the car a good winter clean and topped up the wax . My mate came and done his mk1 cupra aswell " it was previously mine" . Got a few pics of them together , also mine is on sportlines now . Its Sitting much better on the rear now , it looks more aggressive :)

Yeah i have 10mm front and 15mm on the back . I thought i might have to take them off when i put my sportlines on but so far im not having any problems so they will be stayin on . I need the 10mm on the front for the brakes :)

I thought so, I may have to invest in some of them when I fit the new boots as they fill the arches a lot better :)

I've got Vredestein Ultrac Sessanta on my 18s. Got them from camskill. Actually cheaper than when I got my set last year! http://www.camskill.co.uk/m61b758s1...rac_Sessanta_-_R18_inch_-_225_40_18_225_40R18

I was recommended them by the guy that originally owned your car. I like them, better than the Pirelli ditchfinders that came with the car when I got it, which refused to work in anything remotely cold. Decent grip in the damp and cold. Some people on here with performance models don't like them because they're driving flat out everywhere, but for normal driving I like them. Done 18k on them since October 2011 and still doing fine. I got 12k from the Pirellis I had on the front previously.

Hi lian w. thanks for the recommendation . I am actually running those on the back at the moment . I know they are a good tyre so i may purchase 2 for the front . Thats a good price 2. How do you find the road noise on those on the front ?
Do you still keep in touch with the lad who owned my car ?
