So then guys,
The trip to Portugal went as good as can be.
Im now back and all is back to normal...
Since returning i have had to fix a puncture, returned to LBA to collect my car from Sentinal and it had a flat tyre, luckily the guy parked next to my car had an electric pump so i pumped it up and refilled at the nearest garage.
When returning home, on closer inspection - there was a huge screw right in the dead centre of the tread - paid a £5er for it drilling and plugging as a temp fix, all is well for now.
Now onto the goodies.
On the 24th of this month, buying these.
4x new glow plugs
4x Brand new 17" alloys are being ordered, £299.99 + £29.99 delivery (http://m.ebay.co.uk/itm/371996923000)
3dr wind deflectors
http://m.ebay.co.uk/itm/FIAT-STILO-...%3A4b00e45d15d0ab6b44402bfbffe63806%7Ciid%3A4
4x uniroyal rainsport 3's in 215/45/17 91 Y
1x Stebel Nautilius Compact to replace the one thats not working.
........
Next month will be buying a front bumper, hose / mounting kit to relocate intercooler and air filter housing, front splitter, possibly new side skirts and a lowering kit.
Thought i would go uniroyal rainsport 3's for wet grip / price and chose a 91y, would if preferred a 87y but they dont make these tyres in that rating, as i understand - anything higher than manufacturer recommends is ok as its a stronger rated tyre, but anything lower is not good for tolerances so i should be fine as stock is rated 87v. Thoughts welcome.
