After recently having fked one of my rims driving into 3 inch deep pothole near Park Lane ( now fixed i believe ), i came to find out that what i thought was a slow puncture was in actuallity due to crack in rim.

Decided to do the sensible thing (lol) and get new set of 4 instead of staying with the original spyder alloys.

Let me know what you guys think, any feedback appreciated.

PS i now have 2 flawless spyder alloys (no damage at all), and one further stock spyderalloy with very minimal scratch from curb. If anyoen is interested or knows soemoen am willing to depart from them at a very reasonable rate.

Cheers.

PS New Sizes: Front 235/35/zr19, back 265/30/zr19. Purchased @ TVR Power

edit: forgot pic upload lol !

Very nice, but then again, I am slightly biast to those wheels...

So we now have them on Sags, T350, Tuscan and Cerbera. Anyone got them on the Grim (best combination of Griff and Chim!), or anything else?

Nope.Don't do it for me! Could do with a bit more pzazz. Just seem to be lacking something against the swoops of the Tuscan body.

Probably also worth noting that I mm planning on getting matte black carbon wrap in the next couple of weeks .... So would liek to think this is probably one of the better rim choices to match it ....

They make the front brakes look comically undersized, that's the only downside to them IMHO.

Otherwise nice wheels thumbup

Will deffo be providing fair load of pics once its all wrapped up. Anyone here had experience with Carbonskin ? (website @ carbonskin.co.uk) .

Think preliminary quote was 1400 max, even though im dying to know how they will cover mk1 honeycombe like grill ?


Edit:
Anyone here got a window tint done on rear screen ? Was wondering for some time now how it holds up seeings its not actual glass, ie does the flexing in it cause any damage to tint ? Or taking screen out / in ??

No need to tint the screen - you can buy them in various colours. I replaced my scratched original pale greenish screen with a new pale grey tinted one from TVR Power. When I asked they also had at least one very dark tinted screen in stock, around £110 plus VAT if I remember correctly.

Yep got 18's already.

I have been experimenting with 3m Di-Noc on my Tam I've done my number plate surround and looking to do the diffuser & front lip.
I meet a guy today at the Cheddar meet who wrapped his VXR looked very good and it is his buisness I'll find his card and email you his details he is in Trowbridge so it's doable from London.
