What did you and your MK2 do today?

[kazand]

19" !

I put my 19" Cupra R wheels today.
Have 17" on my winter tires (BBS) and it's such a difference in the look.
19 is much more aggressive and the ride and handle is in my opinion just great.
Keep in mind to buy premium tires and not some cheap sh*t.

Did 28k in previous FR in 2 years on 18's , no problem with tyres. 54k in 15 months in Passat on 17's no problems other than usual wear. R has done 22k in 16 months and has, to date, suffered damage to 4 tyres due to pothole/road damage. Tyres are premium brand (Pirelli's although changing to Goodyear's). Its down to the 35 profile. And the crap roads.
Seriously considering a Golf R or S3 next time as they come on 18's as standard , rather than the 19's on the latest Cupra 280.

I know T'other half has just pointed out (in the way women do) that the amount I ( considering its her fkn car!!!) have spent on tyres could have paid for the BCS cat back I want especially now we are 'saving for the wedding'

Well i carbon wrapped my front grill surround today, i'd painted it black awhile ago but it had started to chip in places....now i've wrapped quite a few bits now but my GOD that grill surround was a right grade A pain in the ass to do, it must have taken me an 90mins to wrap the damn thing.....

 

[holmefield]

I also test fitted my new 18" alloys, i've worked out my final E.Ts will be 35 front 30 rear with spacers and they look to be bang on flush to the arches with my tyre sizes and the width of the alloys, just got to modify my spigot rings a lttle bit more to achive the bang on fitment...

I had my lights done last year I wrapped them with covex wrap it doesn't look too dark and makes it look a bit different.

Went out to my car and found the rear passenger tyre was flat, tried to pump it up but as soon as it got to 25psi all I could hear was air blowing out, quickly took the wheel off and an a hole in the inner side wall about an inche long.

new tyre time I guess ffs, gonna try to find some goodyear f1s cheap as I need 2 front ones at the same time, my dunlop rts have lasted less then 10k lol

I have contis in the past mate, personally I don't rate them, I found the dunlop rt really good, gonna try the f1s as a lot of people rate them on here.

My local tyre place charges £10 a tyre

 

[Robbo-K1]

I need new tyres too lads, £90 sounds pretty good, are goodyear f1's the ones to go for then for a mk2 cupra?

I was originally just gonna keep the bridgestones on and replace them, but if others are recommended?
