Uz has confirmed that I won't be anywhere near the rear arches, and with sport wings I should be fine

I found with a quick search that Uz had 6,5x16 ET 16 wheels, and you have 7x16.
Take a look on the link below what is the difference.

What you'll find is my Nimrods were 6.5Jx16" ET18 with 15mm spacers all round and I didn't have a problem. With spacers I was sitting at ET3 all round.
My Gutmanns were 7Jx15 ET12 and never with a 5mm shim at the rear and never had a problem. Rears were sitting at ET9.
My Compomotive TH1570 were 7Jx15 ET20 all round with 15mm spacers at the rear and again I never had a problem. With spacers I was sitting at ET5.
Also Superturismos have a reverse dish... meaning all the width will be to the rear of the wheels... which again means your not going to have a problem even if you are 10mm forward from the 206 offset.

I have bought some Sport wings from Iain that I will get sprayed up
My in car screen has a small issue that bothers me though. It dkesn't turn iff until the BSI shuts down and every time I open or close a door it switches back on. Does anyone have any ideas that could help me?

Ill send you a pic of what you need to do. But first one is switch the red and yellow wires over for memory and also switch pin no 3 on your iso harness to pin position 7 due to the multiplexed ignition wire is in a different position to where its meant to be.

Not much to update with, but I've been looking into what tyres I will put on the Superturismo's when I get them refurbished in the new year. I get regular work from a garage on my business' trading estate that have just opened as a tyre place so I asked them to look into some Toyo R1Rs for me. They don't make them in 195/45/16 it seems, so I have to go 205/40, 205/45 or even 215 width. These will be summer/occasional track use so need to have a compromise between safe in the wet, and admirable on track/fast road. Then my Nimrods with Proxes 4 will be winter wheels.
I will be fiting the 180 interior once I sort out a retrim, and still need to fit the 22mm Peugeot Sport torsion bars. Though I don't know if I should get a 180 rear axle first or stick with drum axle. I would like Bilstein B12 kit too, so I have a lot of things to sort before it's where I want it.
My plan is to get all these things sorted and ready to fit at once in one weekend in March

I prepped my Superturismo's as much as possible by DA sanding the damaged areas and filling the scuffs with Chemical Metal. Dropped them off at City Powdercoaters with my fuel cap on Monday, and went out in the snow today before the weather got too bad.
I'm over the moon with how they have came out, when you consider how bad they were as well
Could only picture the two as didn't have space to picture all four together and I've been instructed not to scratch the floor with them ha. Will have to take them to my storage space when the weather gets better.

Thanks City have two Antracite-ish colours for the standard price, I had my petrol cap the darker-bluey one before but it clashes with the red details on my car so I asked them for a more neutral one, this is a bit lighter they called it Boltgun metal. I need to ask them for a paint code because I am going to order some blank centre caps to spray and stick the Lion on.
The outside of the centre cap face is 54mm

Thanks for the kind words, my aim is to have my car respectable by FCS - need to get a few more things done first
You can go crazy with what colour you choose with alloy refurbishment, could even have coloured metallic flake like black wheels and red flakebut there is a limit before something goes OTT
Next up I need my sport wings painting before I put the wheels on, but that won't be for another 4 or 5 months yet

wheels look mint, what chemical metal filler did you use that was able to withstand the oven?
