Many thanks for the info on the Pirellis, I will go for the Michelins instead.

I think I'll have to save up for a bit longer for a car from the Ecurie Ecosse collection :)

Here's another pic of my car after a clean this morning. I love it!

It's not a bad place :)

Have been busy sorting the Michelin PS2s and load cover.

Will put the car in to get detailed after I have had the ride height raised and wheels refurbished.

Great stuff.

The cueball and Special K C5 - who did you use to refurbish your wheels? I am thinking of trying Diamomd Wheels in Dundee.

Special K - who did you use to detail your car? I was thinking of using Incredible Detail in Glasgow for mine, based on an internet search.

Mine had a lot of work done on it by Audi Technik in Glasgow, including cambelt, Bilsteins, gearbox service and other bits and pieces. Going back to them at the weekend to get my ride height raised.

I use my local guy in East Kilbride for the wheels... does a great job.. I can get you the number if you want...

for detailing, unless you want to do it yourself (I'm doing mine over the Easter break)...... use one of the best in the business:

the owner - Gordon has probably taught most of the detailing in the UK at some point...he is excellent...

:thumbs:

@ Special... I'm surprised mackies done anything with your box, they refused point blank to look at mine!
