Fitted yet?

No......car needs a damn good clean first, or might even pay for a correction detail to get rid of the swirls first

Also waiting for an accurate rendition of the number 12 to be done for the front doors

Haha hope he doesn't make brum brum noises when he's shifting down

I don't shift down.......DSG

I await your communication Bryan ....

A Black Friday-induced moment of weakness led to this going on on Monday

 

It's the cat back system for a Mk2 petrol, but fits a treat on the CR diesel too

 

Comes complete with adapter ring and clips

 

 

Looks great

How much was it ..if I may be so bold?

Something for the sticker haters to get worked up about

Where on the car, are you putting them Bryan?

Where on the car, are you putting them Bryan?

As per Lotus 78T

12 towards front of front door, below door mirror, Olympus on rear door between window and rubbing strip, and the Phillips on the bumper just behind the rear wheel

Probably

To be fair, they look nothing with the backing paper on, much better when you can actually see the gold

What would be the best product to use to de-polish the relevant sections?

IPA or Meths Bryan

Thanks, I'll be waiting til it's a bit warmer before they go on

Good idea

So after selling the Pro Race 1.2s, I felt the need to buy some replacements just in case I get the chance to do the odd track day this year

Yesterday the tyres arrived, four Nankang NS-2R 225/40/18 Medium tread wear for under £320 delivered via Tirendo

And today, these beauties arrived from Braid

18" x 8", 5 x 112, ET42, 57.1 centre bore and radius bolt seating to keep things OEM bolt-wise

Build quality and finish is second to none

They are similar to the 1.2s, but have 10 spokes instead of 12, and the spokes are flush to the edge of the rim instead of being inset as they are on the 1.2s

And the colour is much more of a match than the TDs

They look great light weight?

Cheers Charlie

Approx 10.5kg, so slightly heavier than the TDs

But still relatively light.

Did they do a custom offset? May have to see if they do a suitable wheel for my car

They'll basically make them on request to your fitment, worth sending them an email to say which wheel type you want and seeing if they can do it

Would you let me know your thoughts on those tyres as I'm struggling to choose between them and the Federal RSR's

I will, but I doubt they'll be driven on much before Bedford

Looking good sir! Would look defintely great on your ride.

So these went on today, in readiness for How Fast at Bedford on Saturday

 

The gold Braids with Nankang NS-2R 180 tread wear (medium) 225/40/18s 

 

 

 

 

 

Nice those! Would look good on a blue octy, or maybe too Subaru like!!

Looking good as usual

How is the paintwork holding up Bryan since your visit?

Washing is very easy now, in fact now you mention it it's on need of another

 

Unfortunately the car is parked just under an aerial on the gable end of the house, so is a prime target for numerous sh*tehawks :(
