Dont see the fuss with banded steels myself.

I myself prefer the scmidts too, just a shame they dont agree with britains non summer roads.

Luke, i think 165's are too much for an 8" wide wheel.

175/50's all round imo.

And you know what i think you should do with the design/colours of your wheels

Now, engine bay, theres a distinct lack of engine bay pics in my thread. not really a strong point, but recently ive made it look a tad more decent. (no where near where i want it tho) Polished Rocker Cover and carbon oil cap are the new additions.

(Cheers daveyjack for this free rocker cover agggesss ago)

Other than that, today ive started cleaning the car in preperation for streetlife this weekend. So far so good.

-washed
-then used megiures speed wax detailer
next was a coat of pure megiures showroom polish

This is the bodywork so far- --

Next up will be 1 coat of autoglym super resin polish and finally a coat of dodo juice

Pic of banded steelies up against car- looks ok just white i think.

Looking good Luke loving the Polished Rocker Cover!

I think a bigger induction kit would look good

depends on your funds though

And can I just say...You certainly know how to clean a car!

You can do mine for me if you want!

The white goes really well with the car.

Personally id keep them that colour with a black outer line on the rim.

will have to be very very careful of pot holes with a stretch like that, we told Jimmy that we couldnt be held responsible for his tyres blowing off the bead if he hit a pothole after we fitted his tyre's up
