Well, (breathes huge sigh of relief
) I got out of that relatively unscathed...
Any 'flames' seen on the shiney thingy are only reflections; it's definitely a fair dinkum ridgy didge genuine NON-FLAMEY item...
(and there's NO WAY anyone will convince me to remove the ghost flames painted
under the bonnet
)
It should be noted that as stock HK rims have a different offset to HT/G they wont fit under the back of my car without using spacers (and that's naughty...) due to the XU1 diff; hence the use of an HT rim.
The 'NZ Rugby' tyre was used because it was in good nick, the right OD (185/80/14) to match my rear wheels, and most importantly, was already in my spare tyres department... but when I win tattslotto, I'll buy a new whiteband one.
I'm also amused that the non-matching trim ring and the lack of a baby moon hubcap attracted no flack!
And I'll reluctantly accept the "you're just getting too fricken' old to pick on" but be assured that I'll definitely be filing that one away for future defence
Anyhow, I think I'll go for a cruise around now... (with the bonnet and boot shut)
