been slightly busy this weekend

saturday
went down to Top Gear NW in burnley (powerflow dealer) to get my a new exhaust





3 inch outwardly rolled edge - has a nice DEEP note but not to annoying

Sunday
Got hold of the wheels i bought at the start of the month (8 spoke team dynamics) Kerbed but have BRAND new tread on the so quite worth the £200 i paid

went down to my local National Tyres and had a nice battle fitting them

look ok on the car, it just require's lowering







and thats me done for this weekend, in total around £430 worth put on the car - man it hit my pockets!

Sorry about the picture's, the camera was a D500 phone lol - my other camera has been lent out to take pictures of caravan's



Gaz,

wud suggest just a normal good polish eg autoglym thn a good coat of wax (maybe a caranuba wax) just to protect it from the upcoming winter months eg salt n shitty roads

Do you know what grade of stainless steel was used? If you didn't ask specifically, they tend to use grade-409 (only just qualifies as stainless steel, marginally, and is designed to rust - not much use if you want to show it off, really). Hopefully, you specified grade-304, as that is a lot more resistant to rust (but, obviously, is more expensive, so won't be used unless you specifically ask for it).

Yeah Gaz , i was going to get those wheels when i got my corsa but then the ones i have came along.

If you do a few tiny things it makes such a difference i found with mine, side repeaters, drums and calipers, plain numberplates, badgeless grill all things that cost pennys but make so much difference

im thining about selling the wheels not 100% on them - i only bought them really to help a mate out and cos there 16's - there kerbed to fuck and silver - YUK!

im slowly going to start the little thing - money is so tight though - im putting 20£ in it every 2 days - i have a brick for a right foot
