ill be up early (ish) and give it a blast over with oil, then have a cuppa or two and then give it some persuading ;) may have to play about a bit with the cookie as ive got 15 mm adapters so may end up having to get some wider ones.

lol.. tbh, im seriously considering keeping both the Mims AND the Borbets. The cookies of course will be the going out shoes, the A's may be polished up again on the lips and used occasionally and the Mims can be the workboots getting used /abused as the daily runabouts .
then again, I may end up getting some entirely different rims, you know what im like... but first, its the mot. got a feeling i may need a bit of work doing so hoping to pop into my mates first to get the once over and see what he reckons

:thumbup: thats very good news! The golf doesnt look THAT low, but then that could be the body being 'less built' near the ground, unlike the ibiza... Got any photos to compare their current stances?
