Hi Nathan :wink:

The Shadows are on the car as we "speak".

The difference between the BBS and the WORK is huge.

With the BBS (7,5x18 ET51) you have comfort and the OEM look that I really like.

With the WORK (8,5x18 ET46) on the other hand the car looks "mean"
and because of the 8,5 (combined with a set of R888) it's perfect for the track and for some tricky Greek roads with twists and turns... :happy2:

........as I have no rear wiper!

There it is...........

One of my next mods.

Question for you Nathan (or anybody else with no rear wiper)...

What about the hole in the rear glass...?

How you seal it...?

Post by: Greeners on August 16, 2010, 12:25:37 pm
You can get a Glass Bung for the offending hole. They come with sealent etc and are easy to fit!  :happy2:

....Crikey, Nath! Have you got rid of your rear wiper? Rainfall in Greece isn't so regular but in sunny Birmingham!? I wouldn't be without a rear screen wiper in Western Europe.

Yes Robin a good while back. Doesn't rain in the garage!  :P

Did you forget RR? Nousey's car rarely leaves the garage. In fact, I suspect when nousey goes for a "drive", he sits in the driver's seat, closes his eyes and makes vroom vroom noises while he turns the wheel and moves the gear lever. That's why it's in an immaculate condition.
