Nice job, amazing results

Looks tidy - post up a pic of the complete item

Cheers, pics from this morning of the alloys on the car, handles so much better with the new tyres.

Out of interest, the bottom side bars under the doors were in a poor state, semi painted black, so a hour of energetic action with the 400 wet'n'dry and they were as good as new!

Lovely :drool:

Looks great

Cheers. £275 for the four alloys, £100 for the four Barum tyres - £375 in total (including VAT, valves, balancing) or £94 a corner.

While I'm posting, this may be of interest to someone ... I'm so tempted to buy it myself, but simply don't have the space...
