Fair enough just a thought, I must admit I like what you have on it already going off your signature picture. :y

The MV6 wheels are VERY nice.... and it is in London...

But I wouldn't rely too much on his 'good tread' tyres, and anyway the rear left ain't no Michelin - looks more like an Avon to me....:

So I think whoever buyes them will need four good tyres as well.

Gwilym -

New set of spark plugs and full clean out of the breather system and throttle body + ICV.

Cost you about £15, and a very worthwhile bit of maintenance with probably a hugely noticable improvement!

:D
