Loads of alloy wheel re-furb companies about who will do it for around £50 - 75 per wheel. I had mine sprayed using Lamborghini semi-gloss Gunmetal Grey paint and it cost £65 per wheel - it is a while you wait service (they can come to you in a van and do it while you are at work).

And it sounds like I need to get JGM to have a look at my car

Hi guys, mine is ok I texted the number (+39 33 999 43201) with a self-managed command (sat.status) & got everything back including battery voltage etc. My Metasat account shows the right level of credits also. Hope this helps?

IM Customer Services are telling me that the issue is a golbal software onethat Metasat are having with their SMS interface. But if it woks for you and others then this is not the case.

Shurely not IM customer services getting it wrong?

I use both Vodafone (blackberry) and O2 (iphone) to try and talk to my tracker - what network are you on (am wondering if the issue is network specific?)

Meantime, I'm going to suggest that Subaru swap my tracker for one that ids a bit more robust (or fix the one I currently have!)

NooScoob Meet at Litchfiled Imports (Nr Cheltenham and Tewkesbury) on Saturday 5th September

Why not come along and meet other Hatch drivers, chat about mods and drool other some cars? You don't need to book any mods on the day, but if you do, we have negotiated a bit of a discount

Some on ebay at the moment around £2k. The closet 'copy' I can find is these at about £800 for a set

POTN - If you are looking for an Rota Force Drift 18 x 9&quot Gunmetal Set of 4 Wheels (Drift Series) click here Rota

Do you think people would be interested in buying the standard 5 spoke 330s' off me though and would the above be better weight wise?

I am running the 5 spokes as you know and they go for about £400 secondhand with decent tyres on (to other hatch STI owners running the 17s). The five spokes are very heavy and the rotas are very light in comparison mate (exact wheel weights for both are on the IWSTI site in the GR series section).

p.s.

WARNING TO EVERYONE - DO NOT BUY THE WHITELINE ALK KIT FOR THE MY08/09 STI - MINE HAS JUST FAILED AND I HAVE BEEN TOLD IT IS A COMMON FAULT - GET THE POWERFLEX ALK INSTEAD

I was going to keep the existing tyres as I have been told they would fit these wheels - keeps costs down as well.

Anyone got the Zunsport grills on their Hatch, thinking about getting a set in black to put one when the bumper is off to fit my fogs.

Wondering about the quality and fit compared to the OE ones?

Thanks
Arron
