That time again

[Russc]

Decided that as it wasn`t raining for once i`d give the car a nice clay, clean and polish.

They don`t come up too bad for a 17 year old car do they!

Well done Russ, thats a lovely finish you've got there.....but...................................................................sort out those bloody wheel centres!

£5 each from the Lotus sale list

[Russc]

Ha ha, i was waiting for someone to comment on those I`ve got them on the old wheels, just need to be less lazy and get them swapped over

[paulwatkins]

Dont know if you've done this before Russ, but its 'careful as you go'.
You dont want to break the plastic lugs.

BTW you knock the centre from the inside to out. You also replace them from the inside to out - carefully tap it in until the lugs locate into the recess.

[Enright]

Hang on Paul, where did you get that from?

I've always knocked them from outside to in when removing, and from inside to out when replacing.

[paulwatkins]

You're probably right Neil.
