Hey pav, just read your thread from the start. Where did you get the vinyl wrap from and is it easy to use? Thinking of doing my mirrors and maybe rear diffuser.

@Pav

When I left and we were all outside Saturday night: and my lights were pointing at your fine rear end - I commented on how good your 225 width tyres looked.

I'm DEFINITELY going wider when it's new rubber time. With your stance / lowering / tyre width.....from the rear especially your car was epic ! Really.....

Could you just confirm they were 225/45-17 and the make / model of the tyres please ?

A quick Google on my phone shows Rainsport 3's to be very cheap in this size - and same width but with 40 profile offers far less choice. This may be my preferred route though.

Just planning ahead....

 

[Pav]

ohh thank you very much for your kind words Syer..
i like her ass too
yeah the tires are GY Asymmetric 3 225/45/17..got them from Camskill for about £70 per corner..
just so you know I never had this size on my standard wheels..
