swissvax autobahn , good choice especially if he done it for free lol 

[Scott-R]

He didn't do it for free.. But he did do it ha

35 bucks think that's no bad it was 30 for the bottle hah

[gm8]

did he let you keep the rest  ? loads of coats from one tub

[Scott-R]

indeed! but he will be re-coating it i dont have the patience.

Also what wheel cleaner do you use after applying this? ph neutral?

[gm8]

just normal car shampoo will do the job easily

Got new tyres today!!!

Went for Falkens up front (i like my falkens)
and Marangoni's on the rear                         

The kwik fit guy ran his computer and the only LEGAL size he could put on was 225/40's so everyone on this was basically right ha

One problem.... the rear wheel doesnt go on the back it hits the rear brake caliper... im gonna need a 10mm spacer to make it fit, Anyone else have this issue?

P.s. post pics after i clean wheels up.. then there goin in my attic till better weather comes hate scottish weather!

The rear caliper ? surely there is more clearance there than at the front ? ?



Thats mine with a 5mm spacer at the front only

[Scott-R]

i have different brakes on mine tho... wont sit flat, hits the rear caliper about 10mm in it... If you can imagine the front alloy on the inside where the bolts come through sits out alot more than the alloys for the back.. Also i have a different brake setup all around came with the car, finding discs was a bas**rd you can see the front brakes in one of my pics here.

ON A GOOD NOTEE!

Tyres on and looking mint!



Even got VW dustcaps for christmas so put them on....(kinda cool) haha



Tried the fronts on





Think they look smart and im really happy with them cant wait for better weather..

Just to find myself an anniversary kit which is becoming a serious issue finding one..
