Also forgot to mention that i bought a pair of sport bullets off stevescort172 off here. Im going to have a go at painting the bullets in some bg that i have left over and going to do the writing red. If it doesnt go to plan then i'll be ordering a set of 2.0 16v stickers of ady@n2grafix in red...
If you decide to get studs from demon tweeks then look in the motorsport section rather than the performance section as there cheaper :)
Well the skoda one would only be temporary as I will defo be getting another carbon one. It's a case of when not if!! Since having one, I don't want to not...
Ill get some pics up for you mate when I get a mo. if you want them you can have them, all I ask is that you would pos be willing to cover postage costs perhaps?
It's horrible being splitter less. It looks so unfinished :( part of me wants to get a fabia splitter for the time being just so it finishes it but the other part of me wants to wait and just get a carbon one rather than buying 2 in total! Oh the decisions!
Im pleased with the nuts. Hopefully...
That's ok mate. Thats why I wanted the studs and also it makes changing the wheels a lot easier. The TPI ones are quite week.
Haha roll ghetto style! Although I only have 3 of 4 parts of the splitter :(

Looking at getting some loctite grade...

Its a new wheel, retrim, aftermarket wheel or you can buy carbon grips from streamline carbon. There's a member on here that does fantastic retrims. What you've got is a common problem as the rs wheels are made of plasticine!
Ordered some studs this week. Top service from demon tweeks taking 2 days to come through :)
Measured my old bolts both the full length and thread

I ordered 16x m12x1.5x60mm studs. This is the length of the full studs...
As arctic said it just pulls off once you've taken the 2 retaining clips. It can so sometimes feel tough but its only clipped in, with the washer pipes connected behind it, which just pops off. What's broken on it?
Yes you can. The sun is out today so it would e best if you did it in sunlight (making sure overspray doesn't go on anyone else's cars!) but you can always bring it in after each coat and use the hair dryer to speed up the process. Just be wary that when your painting outside flies and dust are...
