looks good, like the wheels, a brave choice of colour but it works  !! hope the tyre fitters didnt mark your wheels when they fitted the tyres  , something i always dread!!

The wheels are all good mate. I know the guys at the tyre place so they set to work on it, they changed various bits of kit on the machines to plastic and rubber to prevent damage, they used sockets that had an outer shield on them so that the inside spins but not the outerpart, they also removed and refitted by hand to stop any damage. Took a while but was worth it, they filled them with nitrogen as well for me too.

Can you tell much difference with the Nitrogen? Ive heard good things as it prolongs tyre life and still feels more comfortable?

Andy - They're in a different league to P Zero's. £90 each with free delivery
Hilly - not yet to be honest, although it went from the Tyre fitter straight back to be washed. I scrubbed them up a bit and the tyres weren't warm, but whether it's me being too gentle with it or whether its the nitrogen I couldn't tell.
I'll use Rockingham (FCS) as a benchmark, they started melting a bit with the 206 when I took Seb round last year. I did push it a bit too hard there though I'll taking the Leon round and see what happens (taking into account the power difference, weight difference etc).
Carol - Cheers! It's a marmite car

Those tyres were like marshmallow after FCS last year Ad
I have a free pax lap as well this year, you want to come with me (Jamie has the other sessions ^^)
I think nitrogen will really only make a difference when you get on track, however it will decrease the range at which your pressure will change too, so bear that in mind
