Why do people let tyre places use clip on weights on their alloys? It damages the paint and allows crappy salty water to sit under the weight and eat into the paint/alloy

[plym ian]

Look at them arches mor brown stuff than the titanic

[jonny2112]

So now the real work starts 

[Shackeng]

So do they buy these in to work on? Must be some good stuff for you here Webby.

[Webby the Bear]

They basically get the cars donated  as its a 2.5 I got my eyes on a few things

Hopefully not the rear arches

Being an Elite, there might be some bits and bobs, though yours is a facelift iirc

it is mate but I was thinking more engine spares also I trust the entire exhaust system would be the same? therefore I can take that and the cats?

Oh yes...

[annihilator]

if any bits are available can i have the wood effect ashtray cover, the inner rear boot lamp bulbholder covers and if it's a manual the clutch pedal switch and a bit of loom.
ta very much John.

Forgive my ignorance, but what should they use instead of clip-on weights on alloys?

Stick on, on the inside of the rim - out of sight. If you look on various newer rims, there isn't a lip for a clip-on weight anyway.

Stick on behind spokes. If that doesn't work out, refit tyre correctly so weights are hidden

[Nick W]

You'd be surprised just how many wheels are badly buckled and need lots of weights all over the place. A good tyre fitter will mention this to you. Many don't, so you can't say when the damage might have occured. They're gambling on the simple fact that most people have absolutely no idea what is involved in balancing a wheel properly.
