Dude to be honest im not surprised they blewout!! Get some decent rubber on them mate, i bet you could of picked up some T1-Rs or Paradas for the price you paid. Speedlines look nice though matey.
To be honest i dont think that is a MOT failure, having the tyres sitting outside the arches is but im sure it has to be more extreme than that. I will find out for defiante tomorrow though. Ive been looking for some spacers for ages but they are a bit pricey they look mint though mate.
I was perving on your car there Dean, i dont know whether you seen mine parked right in the middle bit?? I was looking out for you dude, but the only person i seen in your car was too girls lol.
I have the Red Box of Halfords tools and i use them all day long at work. They seem pretty awesome to me. The only bits of kit that seem a but flimsy are the sockets. They snap really easily.
