I love Cubes I'm just really anal about symmetry in cars and I couldn't live with that half-wrap back window :lol:

Glad people like it! We popped down the pub yesterday daytime to help set up the marque for the wedding and so many people stopped to ask about it, I can see this becoming a regular thing!

I'm still yet to get any more photos but we'd bought new wheels and tyres for the spareodeck and they came a week before it cagged out so they never made it on :'( so they're on the bB now, 15x8 et0 - and they fit pretty much perfectly (they poked about 30+mm on the Accord!)

They're the same as these, same size etc:

Image

Running a 205 on them so a little more stretch than I'd usually have liked but they were the cheapest tyres and luckily it has kept the tread legal on the bB :lol:

They're also steels, common as anything now - but we got them because we had two buckled ones on the Accord and thought steels would be a lot stronger for a daily-use car ;)

Found out last night that when the rear bench is slid all the way back the front seats tilt all the way back to make a (slightly uncomfortable) double bed :lol:

Also, only photo I got of the wheels on the car. Will get some more today though of the whole car, from different angles etc.

Image

(slightly more stretch on those wheels than I would usually like but they were half the price of the 215 or 225s I wanted :oops: )

Doesn't look like much stretch on those tyres tbh? (which is a good thing IMO!) :lol:

I'm a big fan of very square beefy tyres myself. It's acceptable though. It's only a 205/55 iirc on an 8" so not too bad.

I just cannot stand when people have tyres that make their wheel/tyre combo look more like a basketball than a wheel/tyre :lol:

Replaced the stereo with one that we had spare so we can play mp3s because neither of us own any CDs anymore.

I'm not usually a fan of stickers on the dash but I had one laying around and there was a big flat space. (I originally aimed to put it inside the sunvisor where there's a saggy area from something being stuck in the past, but it wouldn't stick well enough so didn't want it to go to waste once I'd peeled it off, it probably won't stay unless it grows on me :lol: )

:? I thought it looked that way when I took the photo, I think it's an optical illusion though, they aren't camber adjustable and haven't been tampered with as far as I know... I think it's the way the bumper and skirts sit maybe? Any camber that is there is all natural. It's still on standard suspension etc :lol:
