Re: Stretchin tyres???? Help needed.

I had 195/45/15 on my 8x15 RM's on the golf, no problem at all.

For a nice stretch on a 9 would be a 215/35 (i think styledynamix have these) or 215/40

Re:

After a glaze i would be inclinded to use a nice wax. Reason being is that with glazes being rather oily in nature they will create bonding issues for the sealer. A great wax to protect your finish is Collinite 915. I use that on my atlantis blau convertible and it looks awesome and lasts for around...

Re: Buggers nicked my badge!

Sounds like the paint has just faded around the badge but still got the true pigments underneath.

Dont think you will be able to get rid of that without painting. I would stick another badge over the top.
