Re: Bit of TLC

Looks great. Looking at shops to do my bits of corrosion, front wings, roof, and front bumper, possibly bonnet too. What wheel colour did you get, looks great, did they apply a standard colour? Powder coat or spray? Any particular laquer finish? I had my wheels done a few year ago at Lepsons, they ...

Re: Bit of TLC

OP - what tyres and spacers are you running? Stance looks great. Reason I ask is I have 8mm front 10mm rear and the stance was perfect when I had Bridgestones fitted (prev owner). But since swapping these out for brand new Michelin Pilot Sport 5's, the stance has changed. I hadn't considered that a...

Looks epic.

Any recommendations on wheel refurb near London?
I'm close to https://platinumalloys.com in Swindon. They do a proper job of stripping them right back.

Re: Front bumper

Had the same issue, and bought multiple tools to do the job. This set worked perfectly for that tricky torx nut on the wing. Extensions with individual torx bits were slightly too big to sit on the head of the nut, even though they went through the whole with plenty of room to spare... got to it imm...

Re: Tyres

Had 4 GY asym 3's put on at the weekend... so far so good. Had the asym 2's before, but had worn them to the minimum so new rubber feeling great in comparison.

Ok, thanks... Yeah, I've seen the 15% restocking fee... Just looking to get something back, so I think that'll be what I'll do...
