I'm more Highfield area now, but I lived in Chandlers Ford a couple of years ago. Sorry to hear about your wheels - are they repairable?

You'll have to come to some meets this summer as there's never enough UKs around :d

Whens the next meet? I'll try and turn up. :) is there many other uk spec around southampton? as only ones i've seen where at performance car showrooms.

Wheel will need refurb as outer rim is still damaged after being repaired by garage, but I want to get 19's :D so going to put the 18's on ebay. You got any idea what set of 18" do-luck chrome double sixes are worth?

There's a meet in Basingstoke this Sunday. And Japfest this Saturday actually, if you can get hold of a ticket from someone :d

Simbasupra and JohnK on here have UK cars in the area. I'm sure there are others who I don't know though (simbasupra said his mate had a UK as well I think).

No idea on the price of your 18s sorry dude, but keep hold of your stockers and you may have a PM in a few months when I'm out of rubber on my car ;)

have to see if I can make sunday, depends on weather as if its really really nice will be down beach jetskiing. are you going to meet on sunday?

is your sup on 17's or 18's? rubber doesnt last long, had new tyres all round on stock wheels 4weeks ago, rears are already loss few mm but i do like the country roads.:D

Haven't tried jetskiing, but I had my first go flying a kitesurfing kite last night. I don't think I was heavy enough for it!

I might be going on Sunday. Someone reversed into my car last weekend, so I'd rather not use it more than necessary until it's all sorted. I'm going to Japfest on Sat, so we'll see. Keep an eye out for any Ringwood meets over the summer too.

She's currently sat on 18s but I'm undecided if I like them or not 18 months after buying the car! I had new rubber back in Oct/Nov time, I've done about 5k miles on them and the tread is still going very stong so far, but I've not had her down many country roads over the winter! :)

We might have to see about organising a Ringwood meet soon, Jive was asking me the other day if there was one planned soon too. It's always good for a mini convoy from Soton too :)

Unlucky mate is there much damage to supra?

Anyone recommend bodyshop? as need to get my bonnet repair at sometime, previous owner dropped it on bonnet prop, so small dent, plus normal stone chips.

The paint on the front bumper is all cracked and bubbled, and he smashed off the number plate holder (had to buy a new one to be able to make Japfest). Given it was only resprayed in Jan/Feb time, I'm not overly happy!

If I get my way with the insurance, I'll be taking it back to AFR Tuning for the respray again. Have a peek at my thread here.... http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?t=140304

Personally I'd say Matt/Muffleman was worth the trip for the work. Welcome to have a look at my car anytime if you wanna sample his work :)
