Raised the coilovers and set toe for the winter now. Had 2 mm treads left on the fronts, I now have 52..... and the car handles better :clap:

Got an R-line rear bumper too. It will receive a few subtle mods

I know this might seem like a stupid question but, are winter tyres compulsory over in Norway?

If so, what brand do you run?

Not compulsory, but you would be an idiot not-running them. Summer tyres in the snow or below 8 degrees C is not a good idea. I'm running Vredstein this winter. Seems good so far (in the wet and dry, not tried it in snow yet)

I'll show the bumper when it is finished

Running Vredstein Wintrac. Not that happy with them. Will change them for something better (read expensive) next year. Conti or Nokian

Not much to show until it comes together. I do not think I'll use the Rocco R diffuser

Hello.
I'll use a 19X9,5 rim with a 235/35 R19 tire. I noticed that your rims are 20x9.5 with 225/30 R19. I wanted to see how the tire was. You can make a video of the rim with the tire I sailed idea? Help please.

Thanks
