Im not even going to bother with that myself anymore Tom.

Plan to buy a polishing kit, take the laquer off my wheels & hand polish them - brutal I know but ive got the time to spare on them!!

Then just enjoy the car until I sell it.

Dont see the point in spending on it!!

On m3 cutters they say the tyre will fit straight on. The wheels and springs I'll buy on the company so save on the vat and I'll sell my current wheels so It won't actually cost me anything in the end. If the tyres don't fit then bugger it as I just bought 3 new ones

Replicas are different offsets too and tend not to fit so well.

the eibachs springs are brilliant.

had them on both my fiesta and focus and the ride was just as comfortable as before but made handling and ride height so much better.

they do shit loads of testing with them on the cars too so will last longer than 5 minutes.
