You ever at the huddersfield branch?

Remove it, leave the cap plugged in and vent the hose from the tank to air. You can put a one way valve on it if you want

2118s definitely need centre caps, I've been running without for a couple of months and they dont look complete. Done a good job on these Mark, always going to struggle on the colour match with them being plastic. It's the never ending battle with these wheels! Always looks closer in person...

I didn't have it along the top of the arch until this winter, it's purely age related! They're doing well to be in such good condition anyway imho. I might send the car to the paintshop in the summer and borrow the gfs car for a week or two. Probably talking £500 ish to repair and paint...

You can still buy the elf from Kam, if you want to that is

I got a full set dont you worry

This was looking great until the tints went on! Dont suit these at all imho. Loving the rest of the project though mate

Make a thread on all these mate especially if you have pictures! Would be really interesting.

Yeah I'm excited to fit them! Want to wait for the right time as I'll need a good couple of days to get all cabling sorted and done properly. Not worth rushing and I dont want to end up getting rained off. It is a shame but they're getting to that age like you said. I'll just keep dailying it...

Forgot to say, I also bought a set of OZ f1's. They're a bit bright currently but in very good condition and were only £170. Going to get the tyres removed and spin them up to ensure they're straight. These are so easy to bend but are a little bit lighter than my 2118s. Not sure when I'll fit...

I was really unhappy with the colour (volvo silver) of the centre caps as they werent close to matching the 2118s. Having previously tried rover stone grey and this also not being close, I went to a local paint shop to get the wheels colour matched. He went through numerous colour cards to find...

Since the last update I purchased genuine Recaro pole position side mounts, double locking sliders and a set of Jon foz xlow subframes. Decided I may aswell do it properly and get everything Recaro as you only need to get them once and can be swapped car to car in the future. So I got to work...

Dip your chips in it

Sounds better on the temperature front. I'd definitely be taking the cat off and having a look. Pain on a 172 but not as bad as a 225 meg.

You're frog marched out at 6pm. Thems the rules

What a boy!

Is that a tree in your shed???

A lot of car for the money.

:( Look identical to mine!

Take the cat off and get it sold, you'll find out if its the problem and have £550 in your pocket

Probably @YorkshireKyle

No reason zinc plating wont work. Risk of hydrogen embrittlement but you still get bolts that are 12.9 and plated. Wonder if theres more risk it being after the fact? Just realised Dan was talking plating too and not just painting.

Problem is you'll damage it everytime you're taking the wheels off

That's mad! When you remove them send them off for zinc plating. My watfields ones don't look anywhere near that bad and theyve been on 2 years nearly. Never treated in anything! Ignore the grime and lack of centre caps 😂

Shove a few coats of filler primer on after the initial primer

Get some zinc phosphate on there first

Itll have a breakdown strength thatll most likely be overcome by how close the pins are to the sockets. You're right though, it's not ideal

Saxo VTS, 106 GTi's and 306 GTi-6's all use identical rears as the clio. 205 is the same too I think iirc an old thread

Black gold is pukka

Csoc? Ban @Old Tarby!
