you will regret it if ya dont, the fronts brush the inner arches on full lock but only once in a blue moon, its strange it does it once then dont do it for months so i dont count that as scrubbing, just unbolt the rear plastic arched get some tiger seal and bond them back on thats all ya need, i have TOYO tyres if that helps cos every tyre has a different profile and you get better clearance with some than you do with others

sound a bit like me i wrote 1 car off and had 3 minor accidents not my fault
i wrote my car off a classic way
i hit a red phone box head on out side my house and folded my car in half
it wasnt my fault it was a lad with no tax insurance or mot overtaking me as i turned to go in drive it put me in hospital for night but got my moneys worth out of him in the end

So ya bloody should have mate good on ya for that one, the funniest one i did was one i never told my insurers about and went and got it fixed my self, i was speeding and lost it on the brow of a hill and hit a speed camers sign LOL, so thats an extra one, my sisters boyfriends dad works for the council and saved me the £2000 it would have cost to replace the sign i took out he he forgot about that one i remember it now when the car came to a halt why does it always rain on me was playing on the stereo, sumed it right up, engine wooulds start cos the cross member had smashed the radiator and oil pump off the front of the engine, it had a perfect pole shape dent in the front that was about a foot deep
LOL
