Those fronts might rub on full lock at that right height. The inside of my tyres were completely bald when I took them off due to the previous owners decision to ruin the handling and slam the ride height.

Got plenty of tread left on both sets of tyres. It rubbed a little on full lock but I'm only ever at full lock when manoeuvring so just release a bit of lock when I hear it. It's not as crazy low as it looks, it was the setup that BoT do

Fair enough, I was taken by surprise at how bald mine were on the inside when changing over to me TD's and raising the height a little.

Back to standard wheels

Hate to say it (as I am refering to a silver car here), but it does look soooooooooooooo much better in gloss bodywork with the dark wheels.

 Going to get the car resprayed in silver..

 

Just my tuppence.. if you're going for a full respray, why not go for a subtle colour change? I've always fancied a Moonland NA..

The difference between full colour change and blow-over in the same colour is about £1k, simply because of the amount of stripping and masking you need to do to make the car look like it came out of the factory in that colour.

Blimey, didn't realise it was that much! 

 

As you were, then, Mr Williams!!

I liked both to be honest. Wish I never bothered with the wrap from the hassle it's proving to be now

Yup, and most of the paint work is good, just a few bits need sorting due to the wrap

Sorry to hear your selling up George.

 

You'll be back though!

I'm sure I will be, the sun is out and I'm having regrets already and I haven't even advertised if for sale yet

There is a secondary solution... Sorn it, get a trailer and specify it for track use only. Protects your license and allows you to keep it.

 

Having sold one a few years ago, I openly say - unless you have to sell then find a workaround... as you will regret it (and go through the same expense to 'get it right' when repurchasing one).

I'll be investing the money from it into my business. And it's 2cm too wide for my trailer

Have I read that right? A full respray just before selling?

[Graeme Lambert]

I think it's just a general blow over as George had some flaking paint at the front when removing the wrap. Certainly when he was keeping it I think the plan was to paint the front and fit louvres, that was pretty much it.

Yes, I was planning on keeping the car and getting a full respray in a mad colour, but as the car is now going up for sale I'm just going to get the paintwork sorted back to silver then sell it

Not necessarily to do with the photography side of things I'm intending to make my business more than just photography this year

Film making and journalism? You could take Clarkson's job!

[Baron Von Scubadaddy]

Wedding photos and video too ??

Not many journalists make good money... My idea has potential to do really quite well!  More on the private, bespoke side of things (in fact might need to talk to you once it's set up)

Hell no!!
