Default Quick clean of the ST and wheel spacers fitted

Not the greatest of pics cos it was going dark and I've been too lazy to learn how to set my camera up properly lol, but I gave it it's first proper clean of the year at the weekend and finally got round to fitting some hub spacers, 15mm each side at the front and 20mm each side at the back, I've never liked how the wheels sat in the arches and I'm really happy with how it sits now. Also handles better so win win

Next job is to get rid of the horrible yellow brake calipers lol

Anyway, hope you like

I prefer the ST to the FRS, looks stunning Karl.

Wheels need to go silver IMO.

Thanks Pete, as above mate, will probably be in the st, I've got a couple of things to bring with me that folks are buying off me as well and I'd rather put them in the focus than the cossie lol

That's a thought mate, rim tape you mean?

It's an idea mate, seen a mk2 frs with black wheels and white rim tape on today actually, looks really good.

Any suggestions on what colour to do the brake calipers? I would prefer that they were just painted but they were blue when Chris bought it and then he painted them yellow so got no choice but to have them painted really lol
