I've got some 17" ZS wheels in silver. I'm not sure what to do with them - powder coat them gloss black or leave them silver. Also, a big brake upgrade and suggestions for the brake calipers would be great? Red, Imperial blue or gloss black.

Its taken ages but well worth it. I've also got a set of Rota Grid !8" in anthracite that i could use as there's a set of AP coilovers going on. Although i've got the O/E wheels the Grids keep nagging at me that they will look better.

Yep...this one was the smaller of the two. The van came from Cardiff, we're in Blackpool. The health authority said the south of England now has thousands of them cos the winter was a mild one. The spiders come across on ships with fruit. I'm proper scared of spiders so this is well crap for me. Being bitten is one thing - one dropping in your lap while driving is another!!

Yeah I hate the fuc**** to.
Surprising it made its way into the car and survived, but I bet that's where it got its warmth from
