Been a while since I posted anything in here....

The last pics were taken when the starter motor packed in, so that cost me £150 to sort incl labour.

Then it got abit worse, the car has developed some strange squeeking noise from the passenger side. I am guessing it is the cheap coilovers, but not 100% sure.

At the same time there was a scraping noise from the front passenger side, upon inspection, the metal clip which holds the bottom of the calliper close to the pad had decided to gauge (sp?) a line into the back of my wheel






Had the windows tinted aswell, nothing major atall. Washed/Clayed/Polished and Waxed the car yesterday, to try and protect the paint over winter, and went and took some pics after, not going to be amazing pics as they were taken with my C905.



















Finally a pic to show the beading.



Just dropped it off at the body shop again, to get the bumpstrips painted and fitted.

Fullrun? is that some sort of brand If so, then no, they are just cheap 1's which came with the wheels when I bought them.
