I hope the first picture is the before shot Stuey! As for the aerial - so much better than the liquorice stick (someone else called it that recently and I agree)!
if you were going to try something as drastic as fine sandpaper what about a really fine grade steel wool? I have some really fine stuff that I've used on exhaust pipes without it stratching but you can get even finer than that. At the end of the day if it goes wrong you can still get the wheel refurbished for about £50.
yes i have. I wondered if it was tyre noise, I only hear it when I'm going at a steady slow speed. Do you think that's it then? My son started scaring me by saying wheel bearings!
When I drive at relatively low speed (30 ish) in say 4th gear I can hear a repetative throbbing type noise coming from somewhere. It's one of those noises that could be perfectly normal - any ideas?
I waved at a guy in a black one the other day - he just glared at me in that "how dare you have the same car as me" style. He looked like an estate agent........ (no offence to other estate agents)
