Not updated in a little while, got the correct bolts for the spacers fitted.

I had a pair of Falken 452's fitted to the front last week and have ordered another pair for the rear today. I opted for 215/40/18 instead of 225/40/18 to stop the tyre scrubbing the arch on every little bump :grin:

Other than that I've given it a clean and ordered a load of cleaning products to get it up to scratch before Elsecar.



It doesn't show in this pic but the Votex valance is fooked, paint is cracked where it was repaired after the accident last summer :cry:

Would require a new bumper, larger washer bottle, the jets, wiring etc etc; I wouldn't have thought it was an easy job  :undecided:

I remember fitting the larger washer bottle to mine and that was a front end off job  :laugh: :laugh:

All headlight washers do is spray sh!t all over the bonnet and down the wings; I've never seen them be effective at actually cleaning the headlights.  That and you go through a silly amount of washer fluid  :laugh: :laugh:

Anyhoo your 90 minutes is up; it started from when I posted so I'm assuming you've finished  :tongue:
