General What have you done for her/him recently?

[CLXCraig]

I'm running them at the moment martin. Better than the old skinnes, but cause a few problems for me at motorway speeds, just unbalanced really, but with them being bigger its made worse.

If you can source a good pair i reckon they'd be good. If your after some alloys, a few nice pairs come up on ebay occasionally. Kevs 127? wheels do look really good!

Thanks for that Craig. I particularly like the Cinq ones - I think they look very nice on the Panda.

And yes, those 127 wheels are to die for.:worship:

 

[CLXCraig]

Yeah they do. Manda looked very good with them on.

Keep checking Ebay and a bargain pair will crop up

They also improve the handling so you can corner harder and faster:devil:

I fixed my gear selector spring yesterday, which concludes my gearbox repairs. I am pleased to report we are back up and running better than ever before .
Also just got 40mpg which is a best for F91

 

[CLXCraig]

Yeah they do. better braking too i found

 

[Johnbee]

The Cinq ones are good but they do put the speedo out though

 

[CLXCraig]

yeah, smaller radius due to lower profile tyres. In theory if you have can get the same rolling radius it should be "fine". When i say "fine", i mean no different to before, but the panda guage reads wrong anyway.

My new rear shocks are on their way! Thanks Jangcy!!!

You're just showing off now Kev!

Haha...sorry could not resist...if you like a "retro" look keep an eye out for other types...the manda guys got some lovely Lancia wheels!!!...

 

[Johnbee]

We got a set of 14" Lancia alloys here sitting in the garage collecting dust :idea: won't be putting them on poppi. Gonna get her wheels shot blasted and retain the 135's on steelies.

 

[Johnbee]

Spooky. . . . Great minds think alike hey kev

 

[purple haze]

So back to keeping the steelies!!!!!....and the 135's...wots bought that on???

 

[Johnbee]

Well thought long and hard and decided think as she is so standard it would be such a shame to modify her in any way. We have the 155's on rough old steelies that we are gonna put on with the 1000s wheel trims while we get the rims done. Not even gonna put a stereo in either.

Will still spray the super wheel trims up though in the mean time. Don't think the Lancia wheels would look right on her actually.

 

[purple haze]

Def not the Lancia wheels...but you could use bigger tyres with the trims in the winter and org steel jobbies in the summer!!...

 

[Johnbee]

You have read my mind there. Think thats what we are gonna do actually. At least standard rims wont get all gunked up in the winter.

Perfect.......maybe a bit more grip in the doddgy winter weather..

Indeed mate. Especially when we come and visit the "others" out in the sticks.

She is too special to bling up. Few little bits that we are gonna do to her though. All in the pipe line once we sell the corsa.

New bumper turning up tomorrow so one job done

 

[purple haze]

So more pic's with the new bumper...
