Yeah matey, that's defo on the cards soon! Maybe even get brave and have a night out in the Broch!?
Hahahahahhahaha, I totally understand matey. I looked around the SCN stand a few times and obviously no-one has a clue who anyone else is!
Nice to meet you too buddy, really hope you get to the bottom of your problem!
I know dude, I was really slacking last weekend wasn't I!!!!!????
Drove to London and back to collect these from another Forum member.
Mega happy as I now have winter/track wheels and track rubber!
Was a bit of an emotional 6 hour drive in 31 degree heat with no aircon sat in bumper to bumper traffic on the M25 but happy I've got it done now! Wheels are in need of a refurb as are covered in chips/flakes and gravel rash but I'm not fussed. May keep them as they are for the winter with the snow tyres on then get them painted up ready for next years track season!

Hahahahahhahaha, I knew you'd be along soon to take the pi$$!!
Haven't tried them on the car yet buddy, by the time I'd got home yesterday I didn't even want to look at the car anymore so just cleaned the new wheels up and put them away in the garage!
If I was just going to use them for track then I'd keep them purple but as I intend using them in the winter then they'll have to get painted as I dont think I could handle the purple for a few months!
Recently had the car detailed by Adi @ Deep Shine Detail in Lincoln and thought I'd share his write up.
He's a top lad and I thoroughly recommended his work to anyone local to Lincoln.

Seat Cupra K1 receiving a Light Correction Package at Deep-Shine Detail.
I came into contact with this car towards the end of last year where it received a Winter Protection Package. The Car is always clean and very well presented and the owner does a good job in maintaining it, however on closer inspection and in sunlight the car was suffering from bad swirling and a selection of scattered RDS's which were starting to drive the owner crazy.
The Car was recently also on my stand at an LVS Racing/REVO track day at Blyton Park.
The Wheels were freshened up and cleansed using a specific cleaner and a selection of brushes.
For the second stage on the wheels CQuartz Iron-X was applied to remove airborne chemical compounds and ferrous particles. The purple coloration is the Iron Cut Cleaner forming a bond to the sintered iron on the car paint and wheel and changing its state to a water soluble for easy removal. Stubborn areas were aggitated using a detail brush. Then A Tar Remover was used to remove tar deposits.
The car was then blanketed with a cleansing foam for it's pre-wash to help soften and remove light surface contaminates it was left to dwell for a few minutes before attacking hard to reach areas with a detailing brush
The car was washed using he 2 bucket method, grit guards and a selection of wash mitts.
Various products were then used to safely help dissolve and remove bonded contamination such as tar and fall out before the claying stage.
The car was then foamed again before being moved inside
Once inside the car was fully clayed to remove any remaining bonded contaminates from the paints surface. Not to much remained after the various previous decontamination stages however non the less there was still a small amount present.
fully dried using a drying towel and a hot air blower
The car was then prepared for polishing, vulnerable edges and trim was masked up & a selection of paint depths were taken. Various pieces of trim were removed to aid polishing which also helped in reaching them hard to reach areas.
The polishing stage was completed. Various Pads & Polishes were utilised to achieve the best level of Enhancement and finish within the time scale of the package.

In a weird kind of way I'd like to leave them a mental colour if they were just for track!
