hmmm.. Couldn't try to sort some RD parts posted could you?

I dunno if it's me, but if I have 2 ebay windows open, it crashes. That the same for anyone else?

I'll just have to refurb my RD wheels.

Sorry the wheels won't be for sale in the near future. I'm hopefully picking them up in the next couple of days, I'll refurb them before they are fitted.

J555boy, May have a couple of bits I'd like prices on as it goes :)

Picked them up last night and couldn't resist a test fit today.

I had hoped to get away with using the tyres for a little while, But they look like balloons :D

I'm going to get the tyres stripped off, Wheels blasted, Skim any damage with a metallic filler and then get them powdercoated I think. May as well do it right first time.

Yea man, do it right, do it once..

Probably shouldn't take that on as a motto though, you could have a car on your drive awaiting an S50 for two and a hlaf years.....

I still like the 17s but as I'm getting old now I decided I'd like something a little more special :D


Did I mention the 17s are for sale at a very reasonable price? :P

They look better on the car than they do off, I've never been too keen on the RD wheels before but I'd never seen them fitted. Don't look too shabby at all :thumb:

I won't be Pete. Won't even have the bloody car, As soon as the wheels go on Jhonno takes it for a week. Something to do with wanting to tool around in a luxury sportalike rather than his turd.

do you want me to meet you at junction 28(end of A12) one night to collect the BBS'?
