Sounds good to me , :-) may just do that on payday , cant wait to get my rear arb for crimbo now , the handling at speed is terrible ,
Also a question if anybody can help , on my old wheels the tires had worn on the inside on the back , only had the new tires on a week and I can notice a little tiny bit of wear on the inside on both wheels already ! But as I can see there arent realy any bushes that can fail , what can I do ???

Yeah they are much better . I'm going to polish up the lips next weekend to a nice mirrors finish as they are a little dull ,
Not ditching the old ones yet though as they have good toyo proxies , I'm sanding them down as we speek. I'm going to spray them black , get 2 paint brushes one with red paint and one with yellow , flick some funky shapes on them and seal them with laquer , they will be hood winter wheels. :-)
some tea leaves pinched my black vw badge off the boot aswell :-0 ! Buggers !

got some better pictures today , ANYBODY OUT THERE lol let me know what you think
-
well got sum pics of the lupo with a fresh coat of wax and the new wheels on , the lighting and bad camera did the car no justice at all , hoaping for a nice sunny day tomorrow to get some good pictures , heres a few terrible ones for now if anybodys interested ,
havent got a clue what was going on with the colours in the last picture ,
the wheels are wolfrace street octanes , not the wheels i was hoaping for ! but they do have a nicer offset and a bit of a dish , its a pit stop to some nicer wheels , and at 220 buks new with yoko tires i couldnt say no

the lupo got some new wheels last week
im going to keep them a secret untill i get some decent pictures -

hey guys !
i pulled up in Tesco earlier went to lock my car and my key got stuck in the lock
it would only turn towards the lock position and not towards the point where you can pull it out or any further , a shed load of wd40 and almost snapping the key and the bugger finally came out !
What i want to know is changing the barrel a diy job ? I'm handy with the spanners so id like to have a bash myself .
cheers
