DO not base your judgement on viewing in a shop as images are boosted & dynamic.

Viewing angles are awesome, blacks unmatched etc etc.

Quiet like this, but with chrome legs.

Re drains I use one of those plastic coated curtain springs.
I use a small funnel & watering can to flush mine out every few months.
Put a bowl underneath, supprising what rubbish flushes out.
You really need 2 sets.
1, super sticky for fast road & track use (Mar-Oct).
2, winter tyres (Nov-Feb/Mar) as nothing comes close to these in the wet or cold weather.
Did the springs & Rodders told me you will be back for a coilover kit, as usual he was not wrong.
They make the car 'look' good, see my build thread on Nutz.

I even had uprated ARB's to try &...

Awesome bit of kit, have them on mine.
Someone mentioned acf50 I have some bottles of corrosion block is this the same stuff?
Which is all rubbish as has been proven before.
The max5 race series use these as control tyres & no problems whatsoever.
These guys race on them not pussy round doing a few trackdays.
The cracks people report & panick at actually wear away as the m3 photos from before showed.
The photos of the...
Top chap Clive.
Doing some research with my mk3, playing with maps etc.
Not expecting much but anything is better than nothing.
