  1. I have seen a lot worse than that repaired.

    Wings and door skin are not that much believe it or not.

    It maybe the front wheel that made the insurance go ouch.

    Mine was £1130 in 2011.

    However there are complete set of rays with dunlop tyres on fleabay for £250 open to offers.

    Door skin is about £100.

    Wing is about £130 new but plenty of 2nd hand ones about.

    Seal well OEM 2nd hand is £50 a set

    Paint approx £300 per panel

    And wheel approx £60 refurb.

    Is there any structural damage?

  2. I think what Steve is saying is that he disagrees with you when you say the aspect ration has the be the same: I agree with him, it does not.

     

    The aspect ratio will change dpending on what width tyres you want to run, assuming you don't want the TCS to have a hissy fit. Steve increased the stagger on his to give more understeer, and as such would've needed to reduce the ratio to compensate.

     

    Thanks for explaining Dan.

    I can understand this now you put it so informatively.

  3. Defo not.

    The traction control would come on and you would not get above 25-30 mph.

    As I found out when I put 245/.35 on the front and 275/40 on the rear.

    Soon as I put 245/40 on front she was fine :)

    The aspect needs to be the same.

     

    Wrong completely wrong

     

    I ran a 225/40/18 front and 255/35/18 rear on my lmgt4 best set up I ever ran for handling/traction control

    So are you saying that I imagined my car not getting up the hill out of tyre city in Coulsden and they never had to reorder tyres then?

    Or that the forum confirmed this?

    I never knew you were there!

  7. They don't have a forum presence. It's not Abbey. There are details about costs and quotes further back in this topic but the hourly rate is £60 plus vat.

    Who mentioned Abbey?

    I was thinking more an Essex Company :)
