RTF's and recommended by BMW dealer. Very direct steering.

Ordered my 178s this morning, two weeks to get here from Germany. You should see some pictures of 178s in silver, once they get fitted.

Thanks for your help.

The main problem is rust around the axle nut. I only lubricate the outside of it and that suffice.

First impressions, bloody good

I went out soon after the last picture was taken. Where as before I normally felt that it would be me pussy footing around, I now felt more confident and felt it was other drivers delaying my progress.
