Will you be updating us here, or on a completely new thread?
Can you post photos as well?
All this talking about your car actually makes me want to see it.

Well i have my MOT now

The new tyres grip so much better, it now accelerates in 2nd gear instead of spinning lol.

Can't believe how it pulls now , it was far from slow before.
