Indeed mate,ideally you should remove the wax first but the polish will take it off as you said.

yep a secret for now as iv changed my mind so many times. :lol:
They cost me about £650 including postage, fitting kit and yoko S-drive tyres all round. quite steep but they are quite unique, and perfect for what i wanted :D

So i flushed my engine out today (Wynns engine flush), new oil (castrol GTX 15w40), oil filter and wynns oil treatment because my car sounds like a diesel :lol: took it out for a spin and its so much quieter already. :D
then i was thinking, the air intake to the standard airbox gets its air from inside the wheel arch right? so now the car is slammed, wouldnt the air flow/source be restricted? is there anywhere else that i can route it to? (1.4 mpi engine)

I just took mine off - there was f all suction through that pipe leading to the wheel arch

I wouldn't be too fussed about where it is routed until u get an induction kit

Cheers Alex, wheels were a hard choice, didn't wont something too common, although common mods are common because they work well. wanted to try something a bit different, and im glad it works!
