No worries mate! Nothing needed to have them on :thumbs: and the tyres i have on there are 195/45/15s but can wrap them in 195/60/15s which is just the profile of the tyre (similar size to your steel tyres) but i want £110 with tyres bud!

Well i bought some cesaros on ebay last week and they come with 4x average condtion tyres (can not verify this until i have them but look ok in the pictures) and i am just going to swap the tyres on my slabs for them as i have only just bought the tyres on my slabs like 2 months ago!

:lol: Thanks! Erm at college i used a filler card and just zigzagged it along the whole underneath of the rubstrip! No filling of wholes mate but did have to polish it up a little as there were fine scratches from doing it :( But looks soo much better without on some cars! others suit them on!

Havent updated on here in a while and a few things have changed:

First off, i bought some cesaros that were in pretty bad condition so they got sent away to be refurbed!

Then me and my friend sean basically took out my rear bench for me so big thanks to him :D
Gave it a quick hoover and a wipe and hey presto! :)
Doesnt look as good in photos but looks pretty cool irl:

Well after a long worthwhile wait i finally picked up my cesaros this morning :) Massive thanks to "Diamond styling" and "belton" for sorting them out and getting such a good finish on them! Put them on as soon as i got home but had to go for lunch all day so only got naff pictures im afraid :( Also got my new mudflaps from vaux this morning so i have a completely fresh look for pvs when i put them on sometime this week, probably when i get new plates! :) Anyway less talking:

PS i have got the centre caps and they are all done but i left the locking bolt at the refurb place :facepalm: So got to see if vaux sell them on monday :)

Went and bought some vauxhall goodies today to freshen the car up a little!

Image

Also ordered my centre cap bolts and some new centre cap stickers which should both be here mid week hopefully :)

Me and sean went to get some servicing stuff and a few bits for cleaning for pvs!

Image

All for about £30 :lol: <3 Trade card

Machine polished the car today at college, collected the locking bolts for the centre caps from vaux, put new mudflaps on and put fresh plates on and gave it a good wash! :)

Well im no expert on cleaning products i just bought some because i have none! :lol: But after youve cleaned and waxed and polished and theres little dirt ie dust or watermarks you can go over it with detailer and it brings it right back up to scratch so i believe! It says on the bottle used in between reqular washes to remove dust and fingerprints adding further protection to a waxed finish! :) So basically it gives it a quick clean that you can just wipe over when your at shows and stuff! :)

UPDATE:
Well bought a spoiler just before pvs and then we broke up for college so couldnt spray it but begged my lecturer and he let me do it! Well theres a story to this spoiler :lol: On the first day i had work at 12 so i went in at 9 and prepped it cleaned it and just got the base coat on then i had to go to work so a teacher assistant guy was like, "o il do it! So i left him to it! The next day i came in and all of the underside was done really bad :(So i had to rub it down and i lacquered it! Got a little run in it and a few bits of dust so i thought its ok il just flat it out so i was doing it this morning and then dropped the spoiler and scratched it up and i was polishing an edge and then burnt through my paint :facepalm: I almost quit, but decided other and blew in some colour on the bits i went through and re lacquered AGAIN :lol: Now its stuck but not very well :o So may have to take it off and redo it! :(

ANYWAY, heres a few quick snaps i got after college as i had work straight after!
