They look really good! :thumbsup:

Am I right in thinking they are a 19" E89 wheel? If so, do they fit without any rubbing?
Yes, they look very good indeed! Interesting alternative to the CSLs

Exciting! :rofl:
Never heard of those, but i'm very interested! Currently have bosch aerotwin wipers, which make a god awful noise and shudder on every wipe.

Where did you manage to find them for £6 each?
Costco lol, sometimes they even have a quid off!

Managed to bag 2 sets today, so thanks for the heads up :thumbsup: bought 2 sets of 19'' and 20''. I've always gone 1'' less than standard to stop the wiper catching the seal around the windscreen edge.

Bought something to smarten up the back end and allow the S54 to exercise its vocals. They’re almost too nice to fit..

Replaced the "Lord knows how old" battery as there was no stamp or time identifier.
Had to charge it late summer and the recent cold snap, even tho parked for a week said, OPS, Not gonna happen. :thumbsdown: :o :o

Driving it tomorrow cause it needs gas for the long term park. And a wash. And a new right hand cup holder replacement.

Cruddy windshield replacement and shocks to go. :P

The Christmas weather is so good in Cornwall. I have put the Zed on Charge tonight, as it's not moved since a week on Sunday. :cry:

Nothing today but I had it out for it's first proper blast yesterday. Good run down the coast and a coffee sitting out on the promenade looking up at the Mourne Mountains. All with the hood down, freezing cold but well worth it

Fitted cruise control, pulled both front struts inwards as far as they will go, removed skid plates from front bumper.
