I think this thread is now going to need a bit of a tidy

The problem being where to start :?

 

[mikehealy5]

Plenty carbon wrap ordered last night!! Iv made my mind up and the fog surronds are going carbon as well as mirror caps. Il atempt to wrap the spoiler and see how it looks.

My best worlds of advice are take it slowly and Get plenty of heat in the vinyl.

I set out this morning to buy two new front tyres................ended up buying 4 new alloys complete with brand new rubber, the misses wasnt best pleased haha. Quoted £136 for two new tyres or £180 for these

Thought it would be rude not to take then

good work on the spoiler wrap

I'd have gone with a pair of tyres... Not a big fan of the wheels

+1 anything rip speed or from halfrauds isn't worth a penny, swap the tyres onto decent rims and sell the alloys off!
