    A few things to bring the thread up to date. Whilst moving some steel rims around in the Roomsters ample load space, I succeeded in fracturing a component part of the seat locking mechanism whilst th

    So having booked Ultimate Dubs, my usual tongue in cheek approach to the heavy 'scene' ensued. Cue the milotec splitter that had been in the garage for a year, and the obligatory windscreen sti

Got a cracking deal on a full Audi TT setup, front and rear. Another local Roomster owner wanted the 312's so it would have been rude to let the rears go to waste :rofl:

They're sat in the garage awaiting pay day for discs and pads.

I'll sling some pics up during fitting.

    Haven't got round to fitting the rear brakes.

    Clicked over 100k a few weeks back, have switched to winter rims.

    Barrie, was good to see your Roomster on one of the main pic's on the 2015 Calendar, was a good shot. Thought it was the only Roomster in the calendar till I saw mine on the little pic's in January. Nice one.  :dance:      :nerd:

    Not much occurring at all so far this year and the Roomster hasn't moved much from the driveway save for a couple of lengthy outings up and down the M1 courtesy of j0hn (thanks mate).

    Today saw the arrival of some hard-core rubber :giggle: to serve a number of purposes.

    1. They're going onto my track wheels which will be fitted ahead of Ultimate Dubs in a few weeks time, so needed to be 'street legal'.

    2. Should mean that I can attend the National and drive home again with one set of rims, as I'm conscious that I'll still be in the long-term recovery window with my leg.

    So here they are. Federal 595 RS-R in 215/40/17 flavour weighing in at a very competitive £81 per corner from oponeo.co.uk B)

    One of the perks of being off work is that I've been able to keep an eye on the price which has fallen from £89 or so over the past few weeks.

    The law of S0d says they'll be £75 next week though!!

    What did you pay Barrie? :D

     

    I have a pair in the post from Oponeo - £81 each. :)

    At anywhere around that price, it's decent for well-regarded trackday rubber :)

    So, ahead of Ultimate Dubs in a few weeks, I ordered up some new style badges to freshen up my Roomy.

    I also picked up a brand new chrome grille section some time ago on FleaBay which will also be fitted once both it and badges are infused with some stealth B)

    Set about removing the old style badge from my new replacement chrome grille section.

    Got a bit keen drilling out the plastic rivets from the rear.

    Not much chance of me feeling it if I had :giggle:

    It definitely wasn't on the kitchen table your honour! Honest!

    New wheel centres and tailgate badges mounted ready for PlastiDip Primer.

    Note the use of the Tourans old air filter to hold them in position B)
