Did anyone else read that in his voice or just me. 
I think it was the “hello guys” that did it
it looks as if a harsh (acid based?) cleaning product has been used on the wheels at some point during the car’s life as the plastic cover over the locking wheel bolt has discoloured to light grey. Only a few pence to buy replacements so worthwhile doing IMHO.
That was literally the first thing I thought when I saw the vid too.
Ok, the second thing actually, those pig awful wind deflectors were the first
Anyhow, welcome back to the fold Andrew and congrats on the new purchase. We’ll all look forward to the car’s progress, warts and all. A good choice of project car for the channel and a very nice thing to own for your own pleasure.
I’m assuming the change from perfectly good (understatement) PS4S to Goodyears is a sponsorship thing?
Personally I’d much rather keep the Michelins on as they make the car look more original, even though they’re not strictly original if that makes sense.
Here’s looking forward to the next instalment…
