Managed to break the wind deflector on my passenger side windscreen wiper today. Anyone got one please? Chris

Looking good Matt. Did you paint them? Need to get your inlet manifold off for a quick lick of paint too.

Still seriously thinking about RH's, especially now I need to pay for the car repair. My RS's are 7 1/2" ET33 Standard RH Zw1's seem to be 8" wide ET60, with 20mm adaptors bringing them to ET40 I think this should bring them to same point as the RS's. Now, I'm thinking I would like to increase the rear dishes by 1/2" bringing them to 8 1/2" wide, with 20mm Adaptors the ET would become ET34 i think???. Does anyone know if this spec of rear wheel would fit the rado without arch mods and without fouling coilovers etc? I'd still look to run 205 40 17's

Got to make a statement at police station on Sunday (earliest appointment), the police will then start the investigation. They have his address, just hope he admits to doing it, this still wont get the insurance sorted though.

Cheers for the comments all. Generally I wouldnt use the car in the snow and it had just started when I left work. The roads had no snow on them so it can't be blamed. The car was bought to be used really and can't afford to run a third car, plus it is garaged and washed every weekend without fail including under arches and stuff. Shouldn't be any different to summer use only really. The only good point is that I had the speedlines on, if the RS's where on then one would certainly have been knackered! Definately makes me think that I should change them for RH's!! Plus I may need the money for repairs....

Cheers Guys. Sadly I think nothing will come of it. I'm sure they will deny all knowledge of it and that will be it. Even if he admits it, I will still have to argue with insurance companies on who's fault it was.

Driving home from work in the Rado tonight, pulled out from a roundabout and the young kid next to me decided he wanted the same road as me. I now have a nice dent in the rear wheel arch and scrape round the wheel. Not content with hitting my car, he decided not to stop. I pulled along side on the dual carriage way telling him to pull over but the kid in the passenger seat was just laughing! I ended up ringing 999 whilst chasing him down a dual carriageway towards my village with the police telling me to stop following him. I stopped following after the police said they had an address for the car. Spoke to the police tonight and I need to make a statement, the earliest appointment is Sunday, they will then start looking into it. Not sure when, but eventually they will go round to the kids house and question him, best case if he admits it he will get summoned, worst case if he deny's it and no CCTV then he will get away with it.... Wish I'd kept following him now! Police are not after sorting my car / insurance claim, just to follow up his failing to stop and failing to report a RTA. Looks like its going to cost me a stack, lucky I didn't have the RS's on or one would now be knackered!!! Bet he doesn't admit it....... Sorry for the long message, I'm absolutely fuming!!

If you can sell the wheels dont hold them back for me as I haven't decided yet and it make take a bit to do it! I love the RS's but always wanted some RH ZW1's.

Really liking the wheels and my wife prefers these with the deep dish to my standard RS's. Really like the original rear lenses on this picture as well.
