Have you tried any of the 'Chipsaway' places? I always thought they were pretty cheap considering.

And Dan, great idea - set up the x40 Trust Fund

Yep they don't look good now but they did look good back in the day and as I've said if you look at the vauxhall alloys and ford alloys today they are a modern version of those, beleive me timmy alloys weren't great back then that's why people went mad for the 3 spoke alloy lol

My brother had a arctic white nova dash (I think) with 3 spoke alloys and a pink pin strip along the side (don't ask y) I had a fiesta popular plus with xr2 bodykit and pepper pot alloys. I have always liked the multispoke alloys but a wheel of the time was the tsw venoms o how I wanted some (not for the fiesta though)

With compound interest at .5%, that'll be £2.30 in 10 years. Enough for a large bag of chips for Kieran
