Old ones going back on at some later date as yet decided. Wink

Oh and yet to put the bolt caps back on by the looks...

Btw sc3 so much better the previous potenza/p6000 combo. Quieter smoother more responsive, and grippier of course. Cool

. But no surprise there really. Thumbs Up!

Looking really good Chris. Thumbs Up!

the potenza were a bit disappointing IMHO, though still a reasonable tyre. Given the suspension setup, I think it showed the deficiencies of the tyres, ESP in roundabouts Wink

Still ten million times better than those shitty michelins I have - I'd even swap them for falkens Shocked

Not normally a fan of black cars, but the elites do look good IMHO I'm sure someone as anal as gixerboy will sort out the swirls in the paint, and the imperfections on rear wing

Thanks TB - stick with it Chris. The wheels look great Cool

and TB's right it'll be the swirls that are getting in the way of that beautiful deep shine - maybe I can give you a hand with that the next time we meet Thumbs Up!

...it's all about patience and technique (like most things that give you pleasure Roll Eyes

).
Talking of meets....I think the go karts at Warwick are open now Tongue

Cheers
