    If anyone wants Contisport 5's, I know the guy who runs tyrefactors.com and he supplied mine for £99 a tyre unfitted. Was quite satisfied as I only had to pay £15 at the local garage having them fitted. Pm me for more info.

    Window Tinting

    For what it cost's - usually between 80 and 100 quid, I'd get someone to do it. Nothing worse than making a cock out of it yourself.
