Well I've just spent the morning changing my wheels back to my 16's again. I'm sick of getting banged about on the crappy pothold strewn roads with the 18's (plus they need to get repaired).
Anyway, cleaned the wheels before putting them back on and I'd forgotten how good condition they are. Cleaned with bilberry and then a couple of layers of poor boys to seal in the shine. Megs endurance tyre gel to lift the treads a bit.
Then gave the car a wash as it was minging, had to get some wet and dry on the tail pipes as they were VERY crusty and no longer silver...bit of elbow grease and autosol they came back up a treat. Car was foamed twice, washed, door shuts etc done, dried, quick coat of Collinite and then a going over with some red mist. Glass cleaned inside and out and a fresh layer of rainx on the outisided.
Phew, cold windy morning (slightly hungover too) but worth it, here's a couple of pics (didnt take too many as I was fed up of being on the drive already)
Going to have to watch the speed bumps now I think...
Took it out for a spin around the block and I realised how much I missed the smooth ride...I think these are staying on for a while now!.
How it sat with stock suspension....
Anyway, I've bored you enough now!.
