[john-d]

thanks for the comments...

today ive noticed my 2 front tyres are bald on the inside so i now need to aquire either some new wheels or new tyres?

No John, I was in the mrs car, you were joining washington highway coming down from shiney row roundabout.

Its a bit tricky to do, but it looks good. I will try and hunt it out but I got it off ebay for about £5 and you get enough to do umpteen cars.

i will of been coming home from work.. cheers mate, so are you driving yours about now? seen tooshy at peel on sunday

 

[CupraElliott]

Yeah, just very little because it's not getting mapped till the 27th.

Lol jacked my car up the other day to find this, the tyres where evenly worn before fitting and this is after 2 months only....

two tyres like this on the insides, 6 points waiting to happen, in the mean time got these badboys on

the steel wheels will then be going on the kid nexts doors polo sprayed white with low profiles

Like the wheels mate they look very similar to the seat sport speedline ones!

 

[john-d]

They shal be black next week

 

[D--R--E--W]

I would leave them white mate

 

[john-d]

Mate your only saying that because you don't have to wash them lol. I'm eventually going for the hard as **** look mate and white just doesn't go with that

 

[James.Judd.1]

Black wheels are a nighmare to keep clean too, but i know what you mean by the hard as look, white just doesnt work does it.

 

[john-d]

Lol once you go black you never go back....

The white ones are actually tea stained by brake dust

you done the wheels yet?

Mine are a dark grey and look the nits but was thinkin on white with a red glitter for a bit of difference

 

[john-d]

They're being done now. Will be pics at weekend

 

[john-d]

so as you lot know i had 2 bald tyres, so while i got some part worns i got this done...

but the thick ****s didnt remove the weights

also thought the black calipers looked **** with black wheels so painted them

somehow managed this

refitted the newly black strut brace

and walla

the rear is still sitting high probably due to being jacked up, also my spare is in a sean_ps car for some reason lol, car needs a wash and yes i know im **** at painting, theyre temp till i get brembos anyways.

thoughts?

next jobs are gloss vinyl between windows and 15/20 mm rear spacers then thats pretty much the outside finished
