Just in case it is a cracked or damaged wheel I’ve just found a set of five on eBay five miles from me.  A set of five is handy as I can use one good one and sell the rest on. Or sell them all on if it is a dodgy tyre! And if I can’t get a good set of 4 wheels out of 9 then I’m giving up on this car hobby malarkey. |

Ahh, that's where I go wrong then  Weirdly with my '88 Scirocco I declared engine, wheels, suspension and brake mods but they just said as its on a 'classic' restricted mileage policy the premium wasn't affected by much.

I had similar thing with my acty, it's like there's a tipping point and as long as you're with a company that are fine with mods then it doesn't matter how much the list goes up the price stays about the same. My insurance companies only increase the premium with a performance increase and I don't really go down that route. |

And suddenly it all just comes together. Perfect venue, rough, dirt, side of the road, trees. Clean car. Love all the angles. However, I think this is my favourite. That ever so slight bulbous look, the black against the colour...... Just perfect.  What a vision, and delivery. WINNER !. |

I liked what you did with the Ignis, but this is at another level. Well done, the vision that you have with your cars is amazing.

Cheers  It’s almost all come together once I’ve sorted that that tyre out but at least I’ve got options now. Not sure how I haven’t noticed that font colour before.  |

Why have 4 lotus wheels when you can have 9?! 5 lotus wheels collected...  Chances are I’ll keep one and sell the rest on. They were off a test V8 lotus apparently that was banger raced and destroyed. I had a good chat to the seller who has a 4 litre 1971 Range Rover that’s had a few TV appearances, various other modified cars, and he only recently sold an Acty they had for 33 years! Looking forward to car shows again and have random chats about cars and stories. |

Good work! I was dubious about the wheels but they work well, nice one!

I didnt think banger racing allowed fibreglass bodied cars  (Other than hearse events!) But at least you have more alloys to pick and choose between now |

Our local raceway does caravan destruction derbies too though so guess they’re fibreglass? I’m not sure either way really just pleased the wheels were removed beforehand and kept safely to live on. |
