That is a very good price! Wish he was closer to me
With regards to tyres John, I'd stick out for 165/60's, the other sizes are too borderline. You can get new for about £140 but keep an eye on eBay while you're saving.

Have you got a link for that price ?
Seeing as I've got bargain wheels and refurb I may as well save up for the rubber
Still haven't measured for the bolts though, Fizzles bonnet is firmly stuck, I've broken a screwdriver already trying to open it and wheel brace etc is in place

funny how the cheap branded tyres are out of stock!
My local garage wants to charge a tenner a time for fitting etc so costs keep creeping up
I'll see if any local places will do a decent price fitted.

£10 a corner fitted and balance is about par tbh, though the guy is mobile so comes to me.

Think I'll just try local places and see who comes in cheapest with fitting, seems less hassle than buying online, delivery, lugging rims and tyres to garage etc.
I like things that are simple and anything that involves the internet gets complicated quickly
Are these any good John?

I spotted lots of the PRIMWELLS and was going to ask if anyone had any !
I'll have to see what's left in the kitty after painting and bolt buying and center caps.....

any part worn tyre from our scrap yard down here for a set of 4 is about £60. that fitted and balanced. and what more fun thing to do while you wait? walk around the scrap yard!
the ones i always end up with still have the little manufacturing sticky out pimple bits on them and on the cinq they still had the painted on stripes!
car must have had them on for MOT then failed on something big and scrapped.
worth looking into to see if any local scrap yard does it around your way..

A large 4x4 vacated my usual "too cheap to pay for parking" free parking spot today, I parked and chuckled then took a photo:
*sighs* could have been the 90's again

i never park in car park in York, I am of the opinion the car is far less likely to get damaged on the side of a quiet road than in a car park with idiots who don't care parking next to your pride and joy.
I park in the Piccadilly for free... Not in Panda though.
i usually park in southbank near millennium bridge and just walk down the river into town
OP
OP
I won't be revealing my secret parking slot for fear of it been pinched by other tight wads on here
i can't workout where that is though so your safe lol, i rarely go into town anyway.

Just off Bootham Crescent, I only go in to town for Govt mandated activities and to see my mate who lives round the corner

Can't believe it's been a month since I posted on Fizzles thread
That tallies with starting work again though.
Anyway, the old boys paint work has dulled down quite a bit - must be all that 'orrible sunshine stuff we've had :yuck:
So after giving Twizzle the mk3 a quick wash and managing to smear trim cleaner over the shiny bonnet I set off to get a bit of rapid detailer stuff and a few new cloths.
Asda sell that demon shine stuff for £4 a spray bottle and cloths for £2 a pack of six - bargaintastic.
Don't worry I didn't use any of that on Fizzle, (well I did but the result was pish poor).
I've plumped for what I used last year, namely AutoGlym Renovating Polish, Super Resin Polish and Extra Gloss Sealant/Protector.
I also got out the remnants of the clay bar.
After a bit of trial and error with the various products I've come to the conclusion that.
1. My hands hurt
2. I want a MOP
3. I want someone else to do the MOP for me
Seriously, the clay bar did sod all, I think it's more suited to the mk3's modern paint.
The renovating polish takes off scary ammounts paint but gives a better finish when followed by the SRP and sealant.
Well hopefully tomorrow I will get a good afternoon on Fizzle to get him looking a bit brighter for the Panday
