    Headlights look clear again, i've ordered some clear film wrap stuff to go over it so they don't fade again.
     

    Let me know how that goes as mine are awful and having to do them every two months these days. So bad they were an MOT advisory earlier this month.

    Wheels have been refurb'd and they are STUNNING. Not on the car yet, as I want to add the original Speedline decals before I coat them and spray the Renault centre caps black as per the other badges.

    Also bought some new bits to polish the headlights as they've gone yellow again.

    There's a serious risk my car might not look like a shed at this rate!

    Thanks mate, appreciate it.

     

    It's 35mm and it's this one

    Don't be fooled into paying a million pounds for a spacer, it's a bit of turned alu either way.

     

    Regarding your wheels, my TD's had the same thing with one tyre always going down. I got some AD08r's put on the other day and the wheel was corroded like yours. I think he said he just put a bit of filler on it to hold the seal. Seems to have worked really well. What wheels are they?

    That sucks, won't work with my wheel as it's only 6x70PCD, no 6x74PCD

    They're Trophy Turinis. Could be a plan, but I can't work out where the leak is!

    I have a dilemma...

    I had had a niggling flat tyre for months, but the tyres were nearly dead so I didn't bother doing anything with it, until a few weeks back when I had the tyres replaced.

    It seems as though the tyre is losing air, and based on the condition of the rim, it's pretty severely corroded, and there's potentially a buckle (wheel wobble, despite geo being ok and tyres balanced) or a crack.

    I got a quote for a refurb on all 4 wheels today, as they are all a little old & road rashed, best case £340 for the basic refurb on all four, but depending if the wheel need straightening and welding, it could be up to £480! I will be getting a quote from the company who did my last set on Monday as well.

    So my dilemma is this, do I get them, refurbed, and hope it's cheap, or do I bite the bullet and buy all new wheels, and flog the old ones? I won't be buying second hand wheels again, as I've had bad luck ever time, so they will be new-new.

    I'm not in the mood for spending this money as I'm currently looking at buying a house, so ultimately cost will be the main factor.

    Also - anyone know where I can get 16"x7" 4x100 rims at a decent price?

    That would look gash, would cheapen the whole look of an otherwise immaculate conversion.

    On a par with fitting an anodised blue oil cap as a finishing touch.

    Better than the colour the bottle will be in 6 months time, in my personal opinion. :P
