Gona probably keep them for next summer season then decide whether i wana refurb standard rims and go back to standard look.
Cant do anything with height on back without arch mod's but may try and drop front 30-40mm eventually
My bet is an injector that is not always closing off properly and dribbling fuel into the block
Ade, how did you say i check for that ?
Thanks
Rich

Looking much better mate.
You must be delighted.
With looking at your pics, I'm not going to bother with the BBS rm's.
I think they will be last on my long list.
I will spend the pennies on lots of other things on the car.

ok, had a bit of time today so did a few bits
First was a new gear stick gaitor, handbrake handle cover and matching covers for the seat belt stalks
I also picked up what I think it a polo GT wheel at Stanford hall the other week. Its not leather like the Euro sportline steering wheel, but till I have the funds for one I thought I would try this one and see what I think. I popped the silver plastic piece of and painted it RED, cleaned the whole wheel up and fitted it
also after massbad giving me the heads up on the magnicore leads that were for sale on forum the other day, I had to have them as well :-)

It's all looking good Rich :-)
I'm watching the leather gear you just bought on eBay just now and I am thinking about buying it !!
Is it good quality and easy to put on ?

yeah quality is good, bit fiddly to fit and get old clips off that holds original on but bit of patience and I did it without cutting myself which makes a change lol
