Remember to slot Bess in among the Polishing plans for your new chariot.

By the way, do you have a name for her yet?

That LCR splitter doesn't half make a good snowplough!

Aye tell me about it min!! Been clearing the roads down in Edinburgh today lol :happy:

I can see why you're not planning on going anywhere in the LCR Kat, sna up to the hubs - fook that! Best just to stay in and make a list of the subtle OEM+ mods you want to do ;)

Don't Leons look ace in the snow?? :D

I was a brave soldier and went into work today! Go me!! :funk: Took me just under an hour to dig my way out and then I was on my way.

Eventful drive, including a 180 degree spin where I almost had a Nissan Navara plow into me :blink: But I made it!!

Yeah I love looking at my LCR in the snow, just looking mind, driving it scares me!! :help:

Very small update but decided to post it anyway.

With all 4 alloys having had new Pirelli P Zero's put on before I bought the car, I was finding it quite a struggle to control in the snow, see above post for details!

So Willie has very kindly lent me his winter wheels from his Cupra R, as he wont be running it during the winter.

Few pics of car with Cupra R alloys.

Already I have noticed an amazing difference with grip! Just shows what proper winter tyres can do, for a while I was thinking I would have to get a second car to run, but now theres not much I can't get through. Big thanks to Willie, I owe u a :beer:

I was expecting your winter wheels to he horrible as most usually are, those actually suit the car quite nicely. At least it doesn't spoil the look to much, still looks stunning :)
