Three of the four are actually ok. Thinking to stash them in the loft until I need new tyres. Trip to Spain and future swiss trip will put a few miles on current rubber.

Every time I read your posts about jumping in your car and driving off into those great depths of amazing countries ……. France and Swizzieland and more ……. I get ITCHY FEET …….. I really must try to get out more

I’ll read up again on the RAC trip rules and regs about needed stuff …… critair stickers is it ? Etc …..,

Anyone know the paint code for the post 2006 wheels, the grey metallic colour?

Is it 11GY08?

What product you using?

If this isn't colour fast by tomorrow I'll be making recognition by looking for the guy with a 'creamy' bottom.

Proper colour coded Gliptone. Nice match and already dry by the time I put it back in the garage. Definite new squeak to the leather. Was filthy. Last owner was a potato merchant. Literally.

Reinforce it from the rear was fibreglass matting, then bit of filler around the cracks and spay it satin black 👍🏻

[Mossypossy]

Will give it a go. Lot of pressure needed to regain shape. May have to reinforce with plastic offcut first.

Number plate held on with bolts atm.

Warm it with a heat gun to regain the shape 👍🏻

My first SC the plate was screwed straight onto the bumper, had a clean look to it .

    Would cost you nothing 😉

 

[Mossypossy]

May go with that flush look. Would have to get a new plate...mine is full of holes now!

Plus an inch extra garage space
