Tasteful Exhaust tips are very clean. Good purchase.

Done the tips yesterday with some autosol and came up well

anyone know where you can get the sub 8 PP aero side skirts from? had these before on the 290 black hatch

not much to report other than lots of fuel and lots of giggles. the car is just brilliant in all weathers and never ceases to amaze me how effortlessly it presses on!!

put some new tyres on as the old ones were stretched over the Bola B14 wheels. the wheels are 8.5 ET30 so needed at least a 235 40 18

managed to source some Uniroyal rainsport 3s from a mate of mate who runs a race team for a good price. they done one 20 min wet session and came off so they have 8mm and loads of tread. a great tyre. feels better and more planted on the 235 all round.

also got the tracking done as there was some feathering on the rear insides of old wheels.

once sorted drives so much better

done the tail pipes in Satin black and pleased with the result. used the hard wearing engine paint from ECP

also done some winter wheels and tyres in that paint too. going on for a trip to the alps and plodding around in the pants weather.

Did you remove the tips for paint? nice car

 

[H Rafiq]

My tips look like that too, but more of a matte effect. Just cuz I haven’t cleaned em in ages…
