Driveway looks ace mate. Agree with you and the standard wheels, they are hard to replace but i think the speedlines will finish your motor off nicely :D

Cheers mate :) These aren't easy wheels to replace as others like El and D.K have found, but they did do it and well in the end. I'm hoping mine turn out as well and I'll be happy. Need these weeks to hurry up now as I have time off at the end of May to get wheels and other bits done..

Thanks mate :D Feel free to do a photoshop.

Liking the wheel choice Tom, they'll look awesome on your car. :)

Little update, so today I booked the car in at AmD for this Saturday to get the rear pads/discs replaced and also a brake fluid change. I'm getting some judder through the wheel on hard braking so they're going to check the front setup out as well and let me know what's going on.

Haha, nice one mate. Not to worry about the quality ;) Gives me an idea. They will be slightly darker than in the pic but I like what I see. El did me a side on shot with them a bit darker and it was all good too. Getting excited about wheels now tbh..

Glad to see you're joining the wheel club. Speedlines are great wheels they'll sour your car.

Finally... It's been long overdue really. Always loved the Turini's since I had a Clio years ago and used to eye them up on the 172 Cup's. The oem one's I've had are probably one of the best sets left in the UK having been Maz's previously. I've kept them A1 so if I do sell as I think I will they won't be going on the cheap. No curbing whatsoever. Literally mint. This is why it's taken me a while as they've been lower on priority and very hard to replace.

Wheels purchased yet? What you waiting for? Why is it taking so long? Why have you not purchased them yet? Have you got them yet? Are they on yet? What is going on?????????



This is all the tormenting you gave me for months. Payback time :)

I might keep mine if I don't get the money I want for them they're going no where.

2 problems mate, I've got no idea what I would get and I've not got the cash for any :(

I'm sure there's a set out there with your name on it one day in the near future mate ;)

Are the LCR wheels coming up forsale soon? ;)

In around 4 weeks they will be yes.

Popped down to AmD this morning to get a few things sorted out on the car which I've been meaning to get done.

-Rear pads & discs replaced, OEM like for like.
-ATE Super Blue brake fluid change.
-New NGK Iridium spark plugs, feels sweet with the recent new coils.



Great service as always by AmD, they're a good bunch of lads. Car felt good on the way home :)

My old plugs were due and the old coils were 5+ years old when one went so unless things are due I wouldn't do it in a rush mate. My car pulls much cleaner than before though now.
