Yeah weather was crap but fair play there were quite a few cars spread out. Where abouts are you from, can't say I've ever seen those cars before.
Sorry phone battery was almost gone lol. Ask mad5min for some lol.
Finally got round to get the rears fitted over the weekend, so here's a few pics.
Wheels are growing on me, they look good from the rear being 9" and not 8.5", also beginning to like having a silver car, I haven't washed it for over a month but it still looks clean lol
Yeah I know and they look bigger as the spokes go to the edge of the wheels. Oh well the other wheels were cheap I'll sell them once I've done the MV2s.
Little bit of an update, have done a few things recently

Took the wheels off to clean the arches and while I was there gave the calipers a lick of...
I sold my r26 recaros on ebay a month or 2 back, buyer hit the buy it now button for £650.
Came all the way from Essex to pick them up, they're in his v6 now.
They're sought after, the amount of watchers was incredible.
Well I'm in the middle of spraying these wheels. I remember now why I said I'd never do another set after I did my old 182 wheels.
Need to get more primer, spray and lacquer to finish the job.
I haven't touched 1 wheel, 1 is ready for the lacquer and 2 I've got to spray the fronts. I'm using...
The standard ( if you mean the mv2s ) need a major refurb, read kerbed to f**k.
So I got these as a spare set while I do them, plus it'll be practice for me when I get round to do the mv2s.
Well I bought the wheels, luckily they were cheapish and they came with decent back tyres. They weren't in the best of nick so I'm refurbing them before putting them on the car.
Question is what colour should I spray them.
These are the wheels, paint flaking off and corrosion :dapprove...
No interest in lowering myself, just going to tidy things up and keep it standard(ish).
Did you get round to refurbing the door pulls then.
£4990 don't know if that's good or bad from a garage
79k

12 months MOT and an oil change
Thanks, doesn't look crap like what others suggest.
A friend of a friend has got some wheels for sale, not sure what they are yet, hopefully will find out this week. They'll do while I get on with refurbing mine.
Never got round to trying to refurb my alloys, been too cold and haven't had time this week. so I'm thinking of getting some new alloys until I get time to do mine and I won't have to rush doing them.
couple of shops I've done, both will be 18" staggered
not sure black suits
Very easy job and there's plenty of videos on youtube incase you don't know how to get the door cards off. 5 bolts for the door card and 6 bolts on the back holding the grab/pull on
Getting round to tidying the car up
1st job I did was to sort out the marked door pulls.
Before
After
Got a week off work so got up early today and cracked on with washing the car.
Also clayed it, this was the roof.
This was the rear...
