Was changing the winter tyres over today and putting the summers on and thought I'd take a few photos of the common bits on 500's which cause them to fail MOT's and also show how the underneath rusts, but how it's not the problem some perceive it to be.
Anyhoo here's the car as was this morning.
The car is an 09 1.2 lounge getting on for 65k miles since July 09.
I know some people think winter tyres are a bit extreme, but fitting winter tyres yourself means you're having a look underneath your car at least twice a year and that's better than just at MOT time as you'll see upcoming issues like backboxes, dampers and bushes before they become a real problem or safety issue.
