I need some new tyres and am currently thinking about changing all four corners from the conti sports. But what tyres should I go for. I do about 16-17000 miles a year so want somthing that lasts but I also want good road holding.
Has anybody taken out the fog light suround on the mk2 172. i want to take mine out and spray them silver. I want to know how easy it is before I start.
