Nice semi slick track tyre mylee, can you not get a camber kit to set the wheel "flat" to cure this problem

Damn tapatalk send message before I had finished!!! Anyway was going to say I'm looking at spraying my steeliness black with a blue lip so they kinda alloy wheel style but still durable on building sites plus can't afford the alloys any way [CRYING FACE]

Quick question does anyone know if the front bumper on mod your transit is included in the sportvan kit I can't seem to find any sport can parts on fleabay...

And finally fitted some new speakers to the van today some edge 3 way coaxial ones from halfords only £19.99 but f&@k me they shed loads better than the shite ford put in as standard, still needs a sub I think though I don't want a boy racer sound but I do like music to have some punch to it and though these are good just arnt quite good enough to give that kind of thump any suggestions would be greatly received

Nothing to do with camber mate, the tyre is out of shape. Probably broken bands inside. Yes my van is very low but this was the offside rear. It's more to do with being a 88w tyre I think, minimum should be a 92 really. Still it's lasted well.

connect sportvans are a standard mk2 front bumper with a front skid plate fitted to the bottom.The full kits come with both front and rear skid plates the side skirts (textured or plain) and a roof spoiler.and can also supply the door handle recess trims.
if you need a mk2 bumper we can supply you with one also.

You can get subs that go under seats, don't know how good they are though.
