If profile is important to you, then you simply have to pick the width to suit and accept you will be running a narrower tyre than is ideal. If that then puts it out of spec with the wheel width, then you need narrower wheels. Tbh, profile is the last thing I'd worry about. If you want the gap to *look* smaller in the arches, then just move up a size wheel. It's by far the better way round of doing it, saves any worries about the TCS doing daft things then.

Just run it through their website, using a fake name and the address next door and the same rough details, one with the SAC and one without. But probably very little difference at all, if any.

Custard Creams or Bourbons?

The wheel cap looks a completely different colour to the wheels in the first few pics, but identical in the last. I'd suggest it is the same colour, but the difference is between the plastic and metal. Pop a wheel cap off and take it indoors to compare with the brace cover.

Good value for a decent track weapon, good luck with the sale fella

It's not a hugely exciting interior, but it's of the highest quality and one of the things I like about the car. 110k miles and it looks like it's not even done a quarter of that inside. 'Twas fun going through tunnels on the way to and from the PHSS today

In a straight line up to 70 ish, there's nothing in it. Over that and the 645 will start to pull away, of that I'm sure. In the corners it's a different story, the extra weight shows up there and it's definitely not as nimble. On the longer corners and when provoking the rear it's actually more stable due to the longer wheelbase, but it's definitely a cruiser rather than a sports car! That said, now I've done the suspension it's much better, and I'd argue better than a stock 350 up to a point. It struggles to get the power down as easy on corner exit as no slippy diff and I'm running relatively skinny rear tyres (on purpose), and with so much torque down low it's very easy to get the back end sliding. Which isn't always a bad thing...

Nothing more exciting than buying a car you've not seen, exactly what I did with my VXR220. I hadn't even sat in one, so I didn't know if it was comfy or if I'd even like the drive or anything. So stupid, but so exciting too! Enjoy your new purchase!

It's worth doing your ARDS just to be able to casually drop into conversations that you're a racing driver

I'd rather just have the car that drove the best. I prefer to drive my cars rather than pose in them, you see.

If they played it on a Saturday night so I didn't have to go to work the next day, I'd love to watch it

Roses are red You've got a great gob I'm in the mood For you to suck my soup through your teeth even though it's usually irritating

Roses are red Your body is slinky Now come over here And grab a hold of my arm before you fall over in those heels

Roses are red This rhyme is silly I'm feeling lonely So please kiss my forehead

LOL I should clarify the card and message is for the misses / GF....not the Car ! I'll stick with my previous comment... I'm not doing that car key in a bowl thing! You don't know what you're missing. Always something new to learn!

I just want to drive my car, not put my willy in it.

I always sound very old! Hell, at 36 I'm well into middle age by my reckoning anyway. Gadgets that are helpful I like, but gadgets for the sake of gadgets or gadgets that take away from driver control I don't want. MP3 compatibility? Yes please! Being able to stream FB to the HU? No, do not want. Bendy headlights to go round corners? Yeah, helpful. Lane assistance? No, if you need that turned on you're a 'tard I don't want to share a road with. As for driver-less cars, I can't think of anything I'd like less. Apart from electric ones.

Don't be ridiculous. Clearly you just need a bucket of tar and a brush.

Which for most people, is probably what they want. Something that takes little effort, delivers good results but with little risk. It won't last as long, but it'll certainly give that wow factor. But yeah, I'm pinching bullshit products as a new catchphrase

I think walking is preferable to a mk3 Golf. VW are so lucky they were able to pull the brand through that particular screw up.

So Astra, Golf, Astra, Golf?

Just another reason not to buy a modern car overloaded with useless tech that can go wrong.

Game thread ongoing here, there's a few players of that in there

Which normally turns out to be chuff all.

I agree, i wouldn't put anything other than the Rays on the 350 unless it was for purely style reasons. To get lighter than them, you've got to spend the big bucks which is better put elsewhere IMHO.
