New wheels and tyres were fitted today and I'm very pleased so far  :pomppomp:

Can't wait for the tyres to scrub in as they feel very good already  :driver:

Bit of a delay getting my new brembo 4 pots fitted but hopefully be in the next week or so once Alex has everything in place :party:

Quick picture taken after my new wheels had been fitted



Already feeling a lot more grip with the goodyear eagle F1 AS2's compared to the falken 452s I had on before  :driver: and that's before they've scrubbed in so really happy

Just with my wheel design they are quiet noisy you can hear the air going between the calipers and spokes

Yeah I'm sticking with the standard pads as it'll be a massive improvement over the normal brakes anyway  :laugh:

Which wheels are you running? The twin spoke Cupra ones?

Car looks so much better with the TDs, love the steering wheel upgrade! Who supplied & fitted the R32 clocks?
