Do you have any night pics on the car?

I might know someone who'd like them on their motor

I did have mate but I deleted them from Photobucket but I will take some this evening for you and post them up in this thread....

Thanks.

I am just questioning the safety of stretched tyres, My opinion is that they are not designed to be used like that so they aren't safe, I certainly wouldn't want my family driven round in a car with streched tyres, but obviously that just my personal opinion.

Positive effects of tyre stretching:

Nil

Negative effects:

Rims left totally exposed to kerb rash damage

Tyres distorted due to being fitted to too wide a rim requiring much higher inflation pressures to prevent excessive wear on the edges of the tread surface

Rough choppy ride due to higher inflation requirements

Likelyhood of actually having the tyre coming off the bead if impacted

Higher wear rate on suspension components

Higher wear rate on wheel bearings

Poor directional stability due to wrong offset being used

Chris

So all in all. Very dangerous

I llove the car - the tints look spot on Well done!

You've made it look good without chavving it up too far.

Just an idea - How about blackening the door pillars - might add something to the look. ( says he in the bog standard octy)

Thanks mate....

I have had many people suggest this and I will get around to it but I have seen it done on other cars and I am not convinced but I may try it in the future...
