Nope, even with a passenger they're fine. Could probably go wider on the rears tbh.

I hated having stretched tyres. Was always paranoid they'd pop off the bead. Although mine were a lot more stretched than these

Might just be the pictures that make the roof look brown, looks good though, suits it.

Oh man, what a day! Set of at 7:30am, did 100 miles to a place near rockingham, got some bits.coded on my car, helped 2 blokes do their clear headlights andset back off at 6:20pm with the roof down on all sorts of roads for another 100 miles. Literally just got in.
Pics up soon.
P.s. Tyres were fine, funnily enough they're much better than my vredestein rears on the wear markers.

The green wheels are just vinyl, they're actually really nice behind that, posted on the last page I think.

Bypass pipe? Is that a cheaper version of a straight through back box? That's what I'm thinking of getting after I've got lows
