never really got to speak much at the pod, IS got a good thrashing round the drift track, demolishing loads of cones because i cannot drift, smashing the IS lip breaking most clips, one got stuck between my tyre and inner wheel arch :chuckle: had to get the jack out, then wrecked my steering linkage :roll:

Blitz car looked clean and tidy

And after looking at some of the chromies at the pod yesterday, I am very tempted to 15" BBS and a 40mm drop! 8O

Interior looks fantastic Ollie - I'd have preferred leather in that colour for my Turd.

The 15" BBS and suspension drop will set it off perfectly :cool:

Think I paid about £90 for mine (4) but then had to get 2 new Tyres and then bought another BBS and tyre as a spare - cost soon stacked up and they still need refurbing :roll:
