I'm warming to those wheels Max, definalty gives it a new look...i got that Poorboys wheel sealant too, how do you find it? I only used it once seemed ok, didnt really apply it properly as it started to rain lol

Cheers Tom, I tried to use it on the RMs but I found that brake dust doesn't settle as much on polished, and the wheel sealant actually made it worse, however I thought I'd give it a go on the LMs, especially as these are lacquered.

Yea they look reli smart mate, wasnt sure at first but now i reli like em,

How did you fit your TT pedals mate? Mine arrived yesterday went to put them on earlier and couldnt do it, do i have to heat the rubber up or something?

Put them in a hot water bucket and leave them in there for a few minutes. For the accelerator pedal, I have a bit of blu-tack on it making sure it's very well on.

soak them in hot water for a bit near the car to soften the rubber and put them on whilst wet (so take a bucket or something out with you) and they should go on with a bit of persuasion :thumbsup:

Ah nice one cheers guys, I'll give it a go at the weekend :)
