Then in the snow had a slight accident and damaged one of my alloys, a week before a rolling road day we had arranged. So I was then in a mad rush to find another set of alloys asap.
First my original idea was to go for a set of OZ Super Turismo WRC in 16". Rung up Demon Tweaks and they said they have an order coming in on the Wednseday with them alloys on it, so great ordered them there and then but he said he will double check. Had a phone call off the bloke an hour later saying yes the 15s will be there by Wesnesday, asked what 15s are you on about I wanted 16"... he miss heard me
Turned out OZ don't make 16" often and I had to what 2 months for them
So cancelled that order and thought I would try some other companies, looking in all the car mags and phoned everyone of them and they all said the same, "None in the UK at the moment, have to wait till the new year"
So a change of plan in the wheel department, I know I wanted to go for a rally slag / motorsport look and I've always liked Compomotive so thought I would go for the MO.
Now here's another
problem, they weren't sure that I would have the alloys by Saturday already for the rolling road. The bloke said the delevery would be in to them Friday morning so I would have them Saturday morning/afternoon and bear in mind I had to have the tracking sorted to but couldn't get down to the garage because I needed this new alloys to get there
One of my mates then came to the rescue, he offered to take me up Friday morning to get them. This means we leave early Friday morning, get up to Demon Tweaks, collect the wheels, get home by 2ish and fit them and have the tracking sorted. But things never go to plan do they???
Got up there nice and early and what a big
store! Told them I was there to collect the alloys and waited as they fitted the tyres, so had a nice look around. Came back to get them and the bloke at the counter asked for £xxx.xx amount of money, me thinking that I paid for them all over the phone before going up but it was just the deposit
Sitting there now thinking
how to get the money because I lent the money for the alloys till my money came through the follow week. Phoned the bank to the transfer would take 3 working days, tired transferring money from my parents credit card to my bank, no wont do it. I haven't got an overdraft so thought sort one out now, phoned the bank asked for the amount of money, had the reply it isn't a yes but isn't a no we get back to you in 24 hours. Told them I needed it asap so ended up paying £20 for an overdraft for 30 working days, sorted paid for the wheels in full and off we went running well behind time.
Got home about 4:40pm and Ben & I fitted the wheels straight on and to add to the sh!t day it was p!ssing down with rain as we were fitting them. Managed to get them on fine and down the garage to get Wolze to sort my tracking just before they closed.
So after a day of problems and rushing around, I got the car all sorted for the rolling road
Here's some pics of the car with her new shoes
