Will it start?
To the op ,chances are your car will start after being stood ,but if you have a smart charger to trickle charge and keep battery topped up then you know all will be good 👍

Tyre size question
I would just stick with what youve got ,my vrs is on 18s but there not not really built for softness being more sporty ,your not going to make 19s any comfier just adding a tiny bit to the side walls ,you would need smaller wheels and larger sidewalls ,which to me would ruin a vrs .

Paint touch up/repair
The wheel arch is usually double skinned ,so it will need pulling out or a skim of filler ,deffo a body shop if you want it to look right ,diy jobs are nearly always visible and de-value the car.

New "Smart" TV Advice Sought
When were looking a year or two back we went in currys and asked the guy to turn on all the smaller tvs to see which was best picture quality ,before he did he said you will buy the sony bravia haha ,he was right far better pic than the others ,the biggest we could go was 43 inch ,its a sony 4k android tv ,has all the apps and built in chromecast ,sound quality from most flat screens is not fantastic these days tho ,hence soundbars and external speakers being the way now ,bit the sound is good enuff most of the time ,its nice to have soundbar for movies tho .

the truth about electric cars
Dead right ,right tool for job ,when we go into york we always use park and ride ,same with leeds were only 14 miles away but always take the bus and sometimes train on return jouney ,more relaxed than driving and trying to park in a city ,but sometimes the buses can be hit and miss here ,arriva are always short staffed .
