Shouldn't be an issue then.

How big is the exhaust tip? They should take up to 3.5" without a fuss.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Not reading the whole thread FTL.

I've got the official one and a Griffin Aircurve, only got that because Carphone Warehouse were selling it for £7 a few weeks back.

I'm sure a few 172's have got all the orange bits including the wheels.

The rear shocks OK? I had a leaky shock and the handling was shocking, tyre pressure wrong can knock the ar*e out now and then too.

Mine sits a wee bit high too, i've seen a few pics of Cups with Eibach Prolines but they don't seem to make much difference.

Yeah the Anthracite does look good on those wheels:

I had a VTS for a wee while, decent wee cars an can look quite tidy. Mine was red with dark wheels. Only thing I didn't like is that they were very whiney. Not a good whine either. Test drove the VTR but couldn't get on with the Sensodrive.

I don't think you clean them with peanut butter. You clean them with a degreaser and then add the peanut oil to feed the plastic and leave a shine.

The crack?... you'd need to be on crack to think they do anything useful!

Lets just hope if they make a sport version they don't call it RS Wind.

I've never understood why people grudge paying for tyre (just the comment about paying £260 for 8k). Come one, try and do 8k on £260 of fuel!

Probably cheaper buying a full set of eibachs form K-Tec!

Black looks lost against the black of the car, i'd stick with the silver.

Would check the rear shocks, one of mine was leaking and caused it to kick out, even going over drain covers etc.

Surley if it's showing on the HPI the garage could just call the finance company and get a settlement figure, which would show as zero.

Re: Hmm, anthrasite wheels? I like the silver better too. If the wheels were getting done a different colour I think the air vent would need matched too, but silver looks spot on with the black. Anthra might look better on a silver or blue one.

Re: Hmm, anthrasite wheels? The wheels will no doubt get lost in the arches and tyres if trying to do them black/glossy. I gave it a go but kept losing them.

Re: Hmm, anthrasite wheels? Just a quicky as i'm at work...

First car i'd do nothing. Even the slightest change to the car can bump a premium right up.

Resistor chip and the airbox removed and covered with a pair of tights.

I thought it was tram lining that was the issue? I don't imagine a buckled wheel will cause the lightness issue. Tyre pressures too high can cause that.

If your wheel isn't round it's going to cause issues at most speeds.

Could be the wheel, swap it with the back one and see if you still get the same issue.

Normal BBC shows aren't in surround sound, I think it's just some shows on BBC HD so iPlayer deffo won't be 5.1

TBH The Scooby Type R is about the most sensible thing he has said.. he should get one.
