Oh right. My friend rang up Tesco for a quote as he's already with them and they said if you got larger wheels you'd have to get the speedo reconfigured or they wouldnt grant a policy...!
Sorry to hijack Gem. I think you should get it lowered but if you intend on passengers of the adult size...
Do you not have to reconfigure when changing wheel sizes?
Because a wheel thats 17" will do less rotations than 15" to reach the mile mark so you're sort of misrepresenting the speedo/speed you're doing...
Just wondering for when I get some 16s.
I have searched as I don't fancy being a hypocrite ;) !!
Just wondered as I believe my car could do with a detail as it's had 6 years of neglect to the bodywork, aside from a wash and amateur polish.

Stonechips. Bumper chips.
Scratches. Key mark. Alot of Dents.
Starting problem.
Very bad creaking noise after long journeys.
Electric sunroof needs an oil.
Drivers seat squeaks a hell of alot.
These what?
If you're on about the sidestrips or door handles then yes sand down to get rid of the texture until its incredibly smooth.
Then primer it.
