I’m valeting for a local garage at the minute to earn some dollar whilst off work.
How you lot do this for pleasure is beyond me. I’m 3 cars in and ready to put my head in the microwave to cool down/end it all.
Thanks. I had a look on their site the other day but it’s about as user friendly as a Rottweiler with a bee up its ass.
Thanks though, been a great help. 👍
Perfect.
Daft question alert, when you bought them, was there only one size?? Or did you have a choice. I’ve looked at two different sellers and neither of them offer a choice in size.
I’m looking at getting a pair of these.

Have any of you guys had them??
I currently use a GT width (shut up!) Cobra Suzuka and trying to find one the same is proving very difficult, assuming they’re...
I had a W3 that had an electric sunroof and I’m confident they all did. It was the W1 that didn’t come with one.
for a total definitive answer, probably best asking on the Williams Facebook page.
Most people on here weren’t even born when the Williams was launched! 😂
I bought a £1500 cup about 2 years ago. Not too dissimilar condition.
I’ve spent £2k on it so far and all that’s left to do now is a front end respray. And that doesn’t include the parts I had already waiting in the garage. Will owe me £4K once finished.
They’re not cheap to do!
But I will...
My one was rotten. And the previous owner had paid good money to have it all repaired but they’d just filed it all with mastic and filler and painted it. It looked mint from the outside!
But I was t in a position to fit new inert and outer sills etc and it wasn’t a ‘special’ car, just a...
No idea mate, I just do them up finger tight then 1/2 a turn with a ratchet.
If you start the car up and it idles at 4,000 rpm, you’ve got a leak!
And don’t forget to make sure you don’t crush the plug leads. That’s another favourite.
The last two Clio’s I‘ve bought, some absolute pellet has done this and rammed some wanky random bolt in there ruining the threads. It’s infuriating. It’s the simplest of tasks to remove and refit one of these bolts but the ham fisted “diy mechanics” can’t seem to grasp it.
That is all fixable and if you do it yourself, will cost you peanuts.
I’d advise you to buy either a scrap car or some scrap panels and practice your welding.
Do plenty of reading.
Then go for it.
£100-ish I’d imagine.
Liquid yellow is a nause to paint and expensive.
Cheapest way would be to find someone having a liquid yellow car painted and try to get your strut brace done at the same time. Will save you loads.
Standard OZ F1’s are 15x7 aren’t they? And they fit 195/50/15’s on them lovely. Which are A cheaper tyre than 205/50/15’s.
That alone would (and does!) persuade me to have 7 inch wide wheels.
My wets (Uniroyals) are £180 fitted for 4.
