Ok, just driving along, first day back on the streets and I hear a ratteling noise. I think that part of my bodykit is dragging on the floor... Nope all properly fixed on... Only thing I notice is my alloy is about to fall off.. No biggie

The remember I took out the jack and wheel brace when fitting the install and forgot to put it back it... Thank fuck I was about 5 mins away from Paul J's house and he came and recued me

Cheers lad

What I need to know now is how tight should I do the nuts up - using my torque wrench that is (need to know the setting - think its in kgs

)

hehe - no problem mate... wasn't 5 mins away it was like 10 meter's away, but I had to warm my car up first

Thought you were further away than that, came round the corner and was like oh there he is.

Was more afraid when the number appeared as private number on my phone
