great thanks for the reply guys !

just noticed I posted the gram styling face lift version but the non fl version is the same price

They both make mines style front lips... Which fits better? Grams is cheaper (half the price!), does that affect quality?

So I have my first MOT outing today, which hopefully everything checks out okay. But its typical stuff goes round just before, luckily it was nothing major! side repeater lense had fallen off, so quick trip to amazon got me sorted and ordered some nice cheap 'smoked' ones I bought trim tools the other year for another car and they are fantastic for jobs like this, it took me longer to write this post than change it. On another note I am rather worried about my decat pipes failing me but we shall see, wish me luck!

So friday afternoon I got a call to say my wheels were ready Had really good service, Acid dipped, powder coated, new tyres on and balanced and old tyres disposed off for £200 with a two day turn around there really wasn't anything to complain about ! Apart from putting them back on in the rain I did manage to get her clean yesterday it may not look much different to most but makes the car look newer in real life! So the Yokohama AD08r's once all the top layer had been stripped off the tyres felt awesome compared to what I have before! you can tell they have harder sidewalls which feels good turning in made me feel alot safer driving, not sure the misses did in the passenger seat

great thanks

So on a very cold and rainy Sunday night, I got my car up on axle stands last night. This is so i can have the wheels put in an acid bath and repainted then have my new tyres put on. I'll attach some photos of the wheel condition and as you can see they aren't curbed but there is corrosion starting on the barrels, and when changing tyre's its just nice to do this at the same time. Also does anyone run tyre lettering ? (like in the photo) tempted to order some but not sure if my car is aggressive enough due to it looking pretty much standard for now....

@Adrian@TORQEN is selling these so might be able to give more details? Also interested to hear the answers

look forward to see this move forward , hope you post loads of detail

@Silkygun was it you I saw on saturday morning, I was driving down the A46 towards lincoln!

Quite embarrassingly I have not only odd tyres on the zed but budgets too! I didn't put them on its how it came, with goodyear F1's on the front and some jingyung rears which I have found are all absolutely terrible! one thing they were good for was learning how to drive a rwd car So I took advantage of a 20% sale day on ebay and bought some Yokohama AD08R's which I've researched a lot and think will improve the handling a lot! i saved nearly 200 quid which is a bonus too! Before i put them on I'm going to get my wheels refurbished, none are curbed however the paint could do with a refresh and hey why not have nice new looking wheels !

@Silkygun and @whitevanman have you guys done a track day at cadwell yet? hopefully get there this summer !

Yeah mate I'm free most weekends so let me know
