I'm not sure it is but I still do it. Just had the MOT done and it passed no advisories 
They also cleaned it which immediately meant it rained that night...
Pearl white does look amazing in the sunshine
But doesn't look as Yakuza as black.
Awesome! Another year on the road They also cleaned it which immediately meant it rained that night...Pearl white does look amazing in the sunshine
But doesn't look as Yakuza as black. I had a chip right on my windscreen yesterday, straight in the a zone and MOT failure point.. windscreens can't be found anywhere and some aftermarket from Japan will cost big money to ship
Had it repaired with resin but it's not fully gone. Won't crack further and is less visible but it's there.
Anyway, while my winter wheels are on I have been slowly getting things done on the SSRs.
The idea was to split them, get centres professionally refurbished and remove as much of the curb rash as I can from the dishes and polish them to a mirror finish.
They won't look perfect but it'll be much more presentable! I have done one wheel to see how things go and took a few pictures.
One 80% done and a 3 more to go
hoping to have them together by end of march. - only got time at the weekends to sand them and polish but it'll get there.

Looks so good! Caught your 7 seconds appearance on AdamC's video on yourtube. Car looks great on those wheels, although your refurbed ones look so good. Thinking of putting some 19's on mine, think if I get the right size I can keep the standard suspension setup
Haha, my 7 seconds of fame ! I still don't know if I like the wheels... They're growing on me and if they were in good condition I'd be quite okay with them! They're alright now for the winter but I can't wait to finish my SSRs and get those back on!Yea you can get away with standard suspension or maybe just some lowering springs.
