  1. Just look for JWL/VIA approval and you should be ok. The only thing with the wheels your looking at is that they are standard sizes. I'd be looking for something a bit meatier to fill out the arches myself.

  2. This is from eBays own site.

     

    Replica wheels are made using the cheapest manufacturing method available (gravity casting). This is when molten aluminum is simply poured into a mold and allowed to cool off. This method results in a wheel that has lesser density aluminum, since no pressure is applied (most factory wheels use a what's called low pressure casting method). What this really means is that the replica wheels are much more likely to get bent or cracked, since they are made from much weaker, more porous material. We have seen this happen over and over again.

     

    And it certainly isn't Casual Racism.

     

    And where exactly in that quote does it say wheels made in China are rubbish?

    I've had a cheap set of made in China Audi replica wheels fitted to the wife's Celica for the last 3yrs. I can happily confirm that they have been more than ok, given the times she has introduced them to a kerb :lol:

  3. They are £1047!

    The Megan one looks identical with out the Stickers, the brackets look a little cooler too. £300, just got to see what Mail and Import will be like.

    I know they are expensive, but could still work out better than an import from the US, after you factor in shipping and import duty/tax. They also list different lower cost options, just trying to help :blush:
  4. Matt can you link the image you posted in the Tarmac thread ( can't find the thread :surrender: ) The silver Zed. I want to see what the difference is. Because that was the perfect one.

  7. So I finally got my car back, turned out the timing chain was knackered. Thanks for the advice guys!!

    How many miles had the engine done? as stated before the Zeds timing chains are pretty robust
  8. Okay so I've realised after a little research that this will not fit with standard strut brace, so perfect for this with a new one or possibly tarmacs new design!

    Yup these definitely won't fit with the standard strut brace, main reason why i never bought it when i saw it on ebay. GLWTS
  9. I'm wanting to install a radar detector and not use the cig plug but to do a permanent installation with it up by the interior mirror and figured I may be able to pick up switched supply from the interior light. Is this a goer or is the light permanently live.

    The best way would be to "piggy back" a second cig socket off the standard one and locate it behind the plastics. I did this for Zeus's sat nav, discreet and powers up/down with the ignition.
