Looks a very tidy car mate! Front end looks much fresher with the new blanks and diamond too.
Plans also sound good to add to the already impressive spec it has.
Thanks mate, appreciate the comment :)
Whenever I look at your car it makes me want to get a set of F1's! Can't justify two sets of wheels though :dapprove:
Cheers pal :)
Cheers guys, appreciate the comments :)
Thanks mate. There are a fair few other cars on here with much more attention to detail but I'm slowly getting there. I'll be looking to gather some little bits and bobs over the winter and tidy a few bits up when the weather gets better.
On another...
Thanks mate, appreciate it :)
It's just ticked 98k. It's in pretty good shape for the mileage, there's a few chips on the drivers' side door so I'm hopefully getting the whole side resprayed come spring time.
Thanks guys :) hopefully I'll find the problem soon as even though they were only on there for an hour or so, the wheels look lost again without them :(
I saw jackdanielsmom offering someone these 20mm M.A.D spacers in the week and after the OP didn't take him up on them, I purchased them.

I got them fitted today and gave the car a quick clean whilst I was at it, as 2 weeks and 500 miles was taking it's toll...
Yeah, I've read a few bad things about them going rusty but providing I keep on top of them as you said hopefully they'll be okay.
I'm also going to go with 16 normal bolts and no locking ones to avoid any potential trouble.
Thanks mate :)
Me too! A few people said to me that they preferred the 182 alloys when they saw I had bought the Turinis, but have changed their minds since they've seen these on.
A lorry chucked up a big stone onto the windscreen at the start of last week but there was no indentation or mark on the outside or inside of the screen, just in the middle which was weird. I readied myself for the inevitable moment when it turned to a crack and eventually after 3 days it did...
Has anyone got any experience with these?
My brother wants one for Christmas, so I said to my mum that I would get him one. I don't really want to spend more than £100 if I can help it.
He's quite young so I think it needs to look relatively sleek and attractive but I still want it to have...
Where do you work mate? Independent place or franchise?
The reason I ask is because the independent tyre shop I use has done it for me in the past and they've tapped out the locking bolt from the back and saved it but that cost half an hours labour so it'd probs cost about £45 to get these...
The tyres got fitted this week and I managed to get a better picture of the colour as they looked almost black with my iPhone pics.

The alloys were ready and waiting to go on but I had some trouble with the locking key. I managed to get one off but now it's become...
