Gonna have to change tyres a bit sooner than I'd hoped. Went out to the car this afternoon, and noticed a large crew sticking out of the front tyre, which was slightly flat. A further look, and I found at least one more screw in the same tyre, and one in the other front. One of them has gone straight through the side wall, so that tyre is fubared.
I have found some new ones at a very agreeable price (£133 for a set of 4 budget, but branded tyres in 205/40/R17 size, fitted

) but they will involve driving over to near Manchester. So off to talk to my local tyre place to see what they can offer.
The car is currently rocking a pair of steelies though. To say it looks slightly gash is an understatement lol.
On a better note, spoken to a mate about a few bits and pieces to tidy it up before FCS, so looks like a few changes wil be being made before then
