I have no intention of buying a lightweight midengined sports car with either Yoko A048's or T 888's .
I'm giving my opinion based on my experience of the toyos v exaltos , with the former being crap .
I'll leave it there ;)
I never said they were the same price . You said the michelins cost twice as much . They don't cost twice as much for my size of tyre . Like you say , maybe not everbody can afford an extra tenner , if that was the case i'd save up well in advance for a time when i know i'm going to need some...
Point # 1. He never said for what car .
Point # 2 .He never said for what size of tyre.
Like loony says . He never asked about value for money , he wanted peoples opinions on the toyos and my opinion is they are s**t in the wet.
It says he has a 1.216v clio. For all i know he could have...
Like mycougar49 says , rip it as an mp3 with windows media player then e mail it , at the other end either play it as an mp3 or re-encode back to audio using nero .
Like i said , Toyos shite in the wet , exaltos fantastic in the wet . Seeing that we live in a wet climate i know which ones i would go for everytime .
Tbh mate it isn't that hard and won't cost you alot . Give a go , take your time and keep it clean as you go and you'll surprised how good it turns out .
Just check out some local motor factors that mix paint , give them your paint code and off you go .
I had T1-S's and then T1-R's on my old 172 , okay in the dry , widower makers in the wet , absolute shite , not a patch on the exaltos which are fantastic in the wet and dry .
Who quoted you £500 plus vat ? Was it a big body shop ? Take it to a couple of back street bodyshops and get a few quotes , you'll be amazed how much the prices differ .
Imo if they are saying its because its a special silver paint thats why it costs so much they are talking b****cks , thats...
As i said in my previous post . If your wheels are in poor condition i would be cautious about using the fairy power spray .
I clean my wheels on a regular basis so its easier to keep them clean rather than let the brake dust build up .
No i haven't got performance friction pads . I know...
^^ I hadn't seen that . Best thing is you always get a free 3 year warranty with electrical things from Aldi . How much would a 3 year warranty be say from Currys , Dixons etc .... ??
^^^ pmsl . Seriously , try the megs scratch x if that doesn't make em shine nothing will . Do you think the blotches might be under the lacquer ?It definitely sounds like the wonder wheels has attacked the lacquer .

Wire brushing them with these gets the calipers perfectly clean , easier than using sandpaper .

Check out your local pound shop , alot of them sell em .
Try polishing them with megs scratch x or autoglym super resin polish then you could either seal them with AG extra gloss protection or just apply some wax after the polish .
