thats the ones m8 Mr Lobitos can get those as well i believe. however - i have used event-tyres.co.uk the past few times as they are well priced & include all fitting & balancing etc at your work or home [i absolutely hate tire places with cowboy kid fitters) the person who put the new ones on the rear of the VR a couple of months ago was a big petrol head too & loved the rado :D lol -

from experience m8 you get what you pay for! i have found most tires on the VR, & the valver, to be utter ****e & wear rate & wet/dry performance is pap they are more pricey but the only brand of tires i will run on my rado's is bridgestone the current 205/50/15 RE002's i have on are superb. barely tell the difference in grip between wet & dry, firm sidewall so corner very well, dont bloody squeal on car parks & the wear rate is excellent. think i got about 14K miles out of the last pair on the front (compared with about 6-7 on avons if lucky) at the end of the day it is the tire which is the only part on the car which makes contact with the ground & as such should not be skimped on & is one area where you will most certainly feel the difference between prices -
& i must admit though im liking the progress with my new kitchen, god damn it im rather gutted i couldnt make it along to this with the gf :(

Hi Nigel My apologies as i have been meaning to PM you with an update, im glad you have seen it on this thread though :) Paul did indeed do a cracking job. i had another look at the section he made to go from the rear centre box to the back box & the pipework bending is a small work of art. he did say during the job that it was more tricky due to it being lowered lol i was hoping to get pics etc this weekend but my hands were full ripping out my old kitchen & installing a new one but i will definitely do them soon i also said i would give Paul a call with feedback after a few weeks as he seemed genuinely interested in the car & that he hadnt fitted a system to one previously
