Stuffs that have arrived today:
- Winter tyres, 215/45/17
New winter tyres might have cost £70 each for cheap ones, or up to £150 each for a decent brand.
These are nearly new Nokians with 7-8mm tread, can got them for less than £70 a tyre including delivery. The 17" Lexus IS200 wheels they were on are a free added extra, which I'll sell on and make back some money.
- Complete ST170 Front Bumper
I wanted an ST170 lower grille, and a new silver fog light ring. Also a bumper to temporarily fit to my car whilst I got mine sprayed would be useful. Managed to get a complete bumper for a v good price, so have taken the lower grille and foglight ring, and for now will sell the foglights, then use the bumper then sell it on when I no longer need it.
- 20mm hubcentric wheel spacers, & long studs
Bought these expecting them to increase the track by 20mm. They're actually 20mm EACH, something I only noticed as I unpacked them and thought they looked bloody big. Oh well... I'll see if I can swap as they do 16mm for the same price, which would make a 32mm increase. Just wanted 20mm to match the rear axle spacers I'm getting, but if the fronts slightly wider by a shade over 1cm won't make all that much difference I don't think. Certainly didn't on my old car.
