New tyres tomorrow so I loaded up the wheels in the car. Who needs an estate car?

Also found the steering wheel trim I bought a year or so ago.

And I fitted the new number plate lamps. Turned out both the old ones had broken covers so now I have 2 nice clear ones and no led bulbs in sight.

Still got the exhaust to swap and diffuser to refit so pics to follow.

I can't decide if the car is too low or not now🤔. It's not rubbed yet which is surprising because they are close!

Fitment is good though, maybe needs a little spacer at the back?

And yes they are 18's with 225/40 conti sport 7 and even though they are megane fitment they needed spigot rings that on don't have. Luckily the tyre place do alloy wheels and they found some the correct diameters but they needed a bit of fettling so they weren't proud of the wheel mounting face. After that it went on the alignment thingy and some slight adjustment to the front toe was required.

OK so it was miles out still 😂.

Thats better 👍. Miraculously the front camber is pretty even and the rear is decent too. Next year I'll look into modding the suspension turrets so I can actually get to the top mounts and shock adjusters as being a late 200 it's got the small top mounts.

Annoyingly the door handle has come apart and doesn't want to stay in one piece so I might have to look out for a replacement.

Nearly there with it now and I'm looking forward to enjoying it for a while.

They look mint! Get them brand new centre caps in that I had to pay stupid money for! 😂

I might have an interior door handle too
I will when I remember where I put them 🤔🤦😆.
The interior door handle just wants to match the exterior one in uselessness. I went out to clean the windscreen since driving into the sun it was greyer than all the cataracts in Africa and was surprised that the passenger door sensor works perfectly. f**king drivers side one won't unlock though 🙄.
