Nice Wheels Dave,

Are they 18" or 20" ?
What size tyres did you fit ?

Glenn - your ride is coming along nicely.... I do love the black on white effect :P

I installed my Bosch wipers today... :P

Was a little taken aback at how easy it is to swap out. Awesome wipers - just need some rain now to test them out.

Today I washed my car.

I polished a few minor scratches out.

I also put some paint protector on the bonnet and where the scratches were.

I vacuum the inside as well as it had sand in it from our last cruise.

Nina's car got pampered too. New tyres were fitted(46,000 km on old ones). She damaged a rim during the week a little bit so that was moved to the spare. Luckily Toyota Corollas come with 5 alloys.

I washed the outside and polished the paint. I dont know where she parks it, but it has sticky sap all over it. I vacuum the inside too.

I wish Nina would clean her own car but at least when it is clean she is happy to drive it rather then my car.

That's the exact size I'm running on mine. Most guys fit a 40 series on 225, but that results in a overall diameter smaller than what comes stock on a VRX, RA or Aspire 18" set-up.

I have Falken 452, which did you get Dave ?

Next best to 452, and a very good tyre. I put them on my sons Kia Koup.

How much was it for the wheel/tyre combo? Those rims look hot man.

Looking good. Looks great with the blue :) The blue is by far the best colour. I am rather biased though :)

Just one thing. Get that P plate off your car NOW. My kids kept putting a magnetic one on my Bubble and it was stuffing the paintwork. It faded it heaps and there were scratches on it as well.

Just a little Thing I Did on my car Today ...I Changed The Map and Dome Bulbs To " Super SMD LED Festoon Type White " Makes so much difference ...I Have Taken the Photo with the Yukky Yellow stock bulb on the right still in as you can see the difference ..And I also did The Dome light and I have the Boot Light to do yet .... And These Bulbs Don't heat up like the Stock Bulbs .
