The matt black will become gloss over time,
I have decided the matt looks too scruffy. Will still be going all black but with a gloss finish. ![]() But you can roll it in glitter ![]() 2006 Mercedes Benz CDI320 2001 Volkswagon Caddy Van 1.9 SDi 1993 Nissan Patrol 4.2 TD 1986 90 200tdi - SOLD 1990 Mini mayfair (highly modified) - FOR SALE |

Well the new wheels and tyres are a revelation.
Handling is better, acceleration is better, no where near as niosy, does not bob about on the road. Much better ![]() ![]() ![]() A better picture that the one I took last night. ![]() Click image to enlarge Admin note: this post has had its images recovered from a money grabbing photo hosting site and reinstated ![]() But you can roll it in glitter ![]() 2006 Mercedes Benz CDI320 2001 Volkswagon Caddy Van 1.9 SDi 1993 Nissan Patrol 4.2 TD 1986 90 200tdi - SOLD 1990 Mini mayfair (highly modified) - FOR SALE Last edited by mymini007 on 14th Mar 2012 2:35pm.

When you say it doesn't bob about as much, can you describe this a little more, I think mine suffers from this. Does it feel like you are bounced off every bump in the road rather than absorbing the bumps?
I love the pattern of my STT's and they would be very handy in certain conditions, but realistically the LR will be 75% on road. Maybe some BFG AT's would be a good compromise in the future. ![]() 1998 110 TUM HS FFR Hard Top XD WOLF 1982 Series 3 SWB Petrol |

Exactly that, felt like I was driving on a jelly, if I hit a bump, it would bob and weave, if I hit a bump on a funny angle it would pitch to the side. I got used to it, but now I have fitted the ATs it feels like I am driving a go-kart by comparison. The ride is a little more harsh, but makes up for it in the way it behaves on the road.

There are many on here who dislike white lettering, I say if they are GOOD tyres then why not show it? If they are Nexian or Hankook or Fedima then hide it!

After a lot of farting and fannying around, I have managed to fit the fixing for the steering guard.
![]() I have given the guard itself a coat of primer, so will paint it up tomorrow if I have a chance Straightened the steering wheel to as it was on wonky. Could do with a new one really if anyone has a nice one. Pictures to follow in daylight. You cant polish a turd!
