Just had my rear half of windows tinted and it looks

Also just been informed I am getting a sizeable bonus from work so I am sure a few more bits and pieces from my list will soon be finding their way onto the car.

Stu, where did you get the nuts from and how much? looking for some of these myself in black.

Popped my ebay cherry buying the Rays, they should be here by Monday. Looked like a good seller with lots of + feedback.

Be quick 19 minutes left on stubbs.

Volk Racing Rays Wheel Lock Nuts Lug Nuts 12 x 1.25 on eBay, also, Nuts, Car Wheels, Tyres Trims, Cars, Parts Vehicles (end time 23-Jan-08 13:17:03 GMT)

Or more here extended versions...

No idea if I will get stiffed but they looked ok. Couldn't find them any cheaper in the UK. Best I found was Unit-8 I think @ £111 for the stubbies.

'Pete Two Scoobs'

Went for the 'S' as I already have the H&S centre and I wanted noise not more power. Also I am restricted to a 2.5" sports cat so it seemed a little pointless spending the extra. Full 3" when this one retires maybe Not to mention that yours was spot on for what I wanted

Cheers Pete, just had a look at the subaru tyre wrench and the locker doesn't fit it. Need a socket wrench, something like a 21mm
