Ben–350Z

If I had that budget and those requirements, I'd be straight off to the nearest Focus RS...

Those are rather nice. Though when I was chatting to the guys at Tarmac Sportz about them, they seemed to think substantial arch adjustment was needed to fit them :/

Nice. Explains why I've never found it

As in near Cambridge? Where the hell is that road hiding?

Fair enough. IMO it is the perfect fit. Though should have mentioned - I did have to roll the rear arches, even on stock suspension.

Is that why the alarm would go off more or less instantly if you left the windows open?

Sounds like you've got something very similar to what I had with my Rota GTR-Ds: 18x9.5 et25 front with 5mm spacer, 18x10 et12 rear, with 255/40 and 275/40 tyres. Never had any issues with legality. Rear fit: Still got the wheels, if you'd be interested...

I thought about it for a bit - getting a zero tax crap box for the commute. Decided that I'd inevitably just walk past that and get in the Zed every morning, because it's so much nicer.

I'm around that area, too. Though not me - sold mine just before lockdown

I used those rubber things on mine, too. IIRC had to use a small flat blade screwdriver to stop them spinning at first.

And yet it takes them two weeks to deliver some spring compressors...

Basically to get rid of intelligent people who realise it's a scam I mean, in this case, it's pretty bloody obvious, but some of the ones pretending to be banks are a bit more convincing, and if you don't pick up on the bad grammar etc. you're more likely to follow through and give them money.

Good system that - though less practical when your keyboards are both steel based mechanical ones

Beat me to it

Definitely on mine the passenger window wouldn't work unless both switches were connected...
