Right then folks... I want your opinion's. Should i -

a) Get the R wheels powdercoated ready for the winter...
or
b) Buy some 283mm GTI6 brakes and some 15s for winter wheels?

Baring in mind to get wheels powdercoated it's £30 a wheel. If i go for 283mm brakes i need to buy them, new discs, new wheels, have them powdercoated... and i probably won't see track time anyway lol.

266mm is all you need in a VTR imo.

Get the wheels powdercoated.

Tbh, that's what i'm starting to think. I've spent far too much on the Saxo recently and had no money for thing's like clothes etc.
If i'm putting the R rims back on though, they definetely need powdercoating. They're looking rather worse for wear now.

So then...

James suggested the kit above to me and today i decided at the last minute to have the day off and get to work with it all.

Clayed it and omg! Haha. Get's so much dirt off the car even after washing it! And some red stuff came off the front bumper... fook knows what that was

After it had all been done the car's now soooo smooth and has an all together brand new look to the paintwork. Picture's really don't do it justice. I'm over the moon

But bare in mind i've done it all by hand so a lot of swirls are still there for now
