Bluebear Posted December 13, 2008 Share Posted December 13, 2008 Do you have an A1 autostore near you? I think they sell a lot of Turtlewax stuff. If not, I'll pop into my local one, and see what I can find. (May be next weekend)EDIT: While the Turtlewax UK site has the Turtlefresh things up, I cannot find it anywhere on the internet, not even on eBay, UK or US.Might just be out of production I'm afraid Just checked the US Turtlewax site, and they don't even have air fresheners!

Craig_N Posted December 22, 2008 Share Posted December 22, 2008 You finally got the cup holders what you been after for a long time and removed the bump strips looking better with bump strips removed.Craig Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Asad Posted December 22, 2008 Author Share Posted December 22, 2008 Hey, thanks bud defo needs lowering now....quickly go take a better pic seen as the sun`s out Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Craig_N Posted December 22, 2008 Share Posted December 22, 2008 Ye mine getting lowered after christmas got loads of little goodies to come over christmas when you planning on lowering the car bourkey still has some springs i think he has loads of sets gets new set every week after hitting into a kurb lol.Craig Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Asad Posted December 22, 2008 Author Share Posted December 22, 2008 I wanted TTE springs because near where i live there are loads of bumps n stuff, and on occasions i have a full car (3 in the back 1+me in the front)....so i wouldn`t have any problems what so ever even with having to replace the shockers....now considering they hardly come up i may have to opt for teins or 35mm ones.....pics Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sparky Posted December 22, 2008 Share Posted December 22, 2008 Much better dude, would of took the CD badge off while I was there Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Galliano Posted December 22, 2008 Share Posted December 22, 2008 CD badge is a touch of class shes looking alot better, but when you lower her, you might need lower profile tyres.. im pretty sure they look fatter than norm tyres on speedlines? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Asad Posted December 22, 2008 Author Share Posted December 22, 2008 Ahhh you see the CD badge thing did cross my mind (done a paintshop lol ).....Gal yeh its on 50 profile they were almost brand new when i got them (~4k miles ago). so when they wear away ill get the 45 profile sorted also imo the arch gap is too much on 45 profile tyres....we`ll see tho Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Galliano Posted December 22, 2008 Share Posted December 22, 2008 if its lowered on the 45 profile all should be well with the gap Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Asad Posted December 22, 2008 Author Share Posted December 22, 2008 anyone know what the SR originally came with?? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Galliano Posted December 22, 2008 Share Posted December 22, 2008 i would think 45 profile would cut it with the original SR's.. not posotive, il have a look around for you Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Liam_D Posted December 22, 2008 Share Posted December 22, 2008 Im pretty sure O.E fitment on SRs was 195/50/15. Im running 50's on my Speedlines Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Craig_N Posted December 26, 2008 Share Posted December 26, 2008 Asda have you not fitted the spoiler. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Idrees Posted December 26, 2008 Share Posted December 26, 2008 Gmax springs for sale over here, they don't go silly low either. 30mm max at a guess, check pics of my brothers car. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Asad Posted December 26, 2008 Author Share Posted December 26, 2008 Nope, its safely tucked away under my bed i get it out every now n then to admire it . I`ve Got the glue and TTE stickers so hopefully when the weather is better i`ll put it on, dont worry be happy....... EDIT: im hoping to go home uber early to get the passenger side bumps off and possibly wash n wax (fingers crossed) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Asad Posted December 28, 2008 Author Share Posted December 28, 2008 The final of the bump strips took a mere 10mins at most to rip them off, wipe down,remove with wheel,wipe again, quick polish up and whala! (the remains of the tape is the white powdery shite on the floor with bobs pee pee lol) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
