I'm easily led

I shouldn't really play because I haven't bought my new ones yet but...

Hahaha I have been following this "difference of opinion" but I've currently got silver and thinking of making the jump but can't find what I'm looking for yet! I know where I belong though!

So where's the place to get carbon fibre parts these days? I understand Streamline used to be the place but not so much any more. Looking for good quality weave and don't want the resin or lacquer flaking off. The usual parts: door mirror covers, door bullets, possibly interior trim, dare I...

Seats stripped and seat covers packaged to be sent off for bolster re-trim!

That's right, actually knowing what I know now I'd phone them first because even though I put a note on the sale they still sent M12s, I phoned them the next day and they sent out M14s as well and I sent the M12s back. Although there were a few cock ups along the way they were very polite...

Cheers, the only reason I thought about it was for cost cutting, then I thought, no they'll chip easily and look bad really quickly. I'm in this for the long haul so I'd rather wait and get a "proper" job. I've already got next years jobs in my head... will it ever end? No of course not!

Powder coated. I was going to get them painted but then I decided against it. Powder coating is much stronger and how they would have been when new. (I would have thought anyway)

Yes they've actually been very helpful and apologetic, new ones on their way! The bolts do look nice and look like good quality too.

Also, someone was asking about black wheel bolts on anthracite wheels, they look great

Yes I love the contis as a good all round road tyre. It's pissing it down with rain so this is as close as it gets for now! Wheels on but car not on the ground yet

Wheels are back and they look awesome! I don't care that it's raining, these wheels are going on! I even cleaned the wheel arches while the wheels were off. So the new wheel bolts turned up and they included 3 random locking bolts instead of normal ones that don't fit the key they...

I don't get time to clean my own car but if it stays dry I might do the wheel arches tonight. Might.

That's perfect mate and just in the nick of time, they dispatch same day if ordered before 3pm! Spot on, let's hope they send the M14s, I have asked.

Hahaha cheeky sod! You'll never guess what I do for a living...

Thanks mate, very helpful. I could just wait until I get home and check but I was hoping to get some ordered today! The other thought I've got is the bolts thread into the spacers so could be different. That would be silly though. I think I'll wait and double check, just being lazy!

Just a quick one... I'm going to replace the wheel bolts for nice new black ones, I'm unsure on the size. I did a search on eBay (don't worry I won't be buying cheap ones) and it says they're m14 but after searching on here people are saying m12. I know the pitch is 1.5 and I'm after 27/28mm...

Factory anthracite, or as close to it as possible. They really needed it!

Wheels off ready for powder coating
