Missed the camber pics. Rear looks really great though. Difference in driving immediately noticeable ?
yes and no it was because i was pushing a bit more and with the spacers it felt really nice i haven't had chance to give it a proper go yet as i have only been on the roads but will as i am booking a track day in may
Lovely looking car Carl. This question will be up there with the most stupid asked by why are the wheel bolts sticking out so far? Apoligies in advance if Iv missed something.

It's a stud and nut conversion I wanted to get bigger ones just in case I decided to get bigger spacers
well decided to stop messing around and buy my brakes after looking around and seeing what people have and the issues with varies pads i have decided the ktec kit which consists of ktec black edition (brembo) discs and DS2500 pads over the CLrc5+ so well see what happens this also means i can now get my bush fitting under way

Looking good. Post some photos when the discs arrive. I should be having mine on in the next week to test the 330mm brake kit.
Quite possibly I think any more than 10mm spacer it might be
There only the standard size disks not the big kit
Exciting things are happening.. so i've just been told by the body shop my car can go in on wed so the map is getting done tomorrow and the car is getting painted on wed whoop whoop.
So started stripping the car yesterday ready for painting looks sad but relitivaly easy job stripping it down.
Just need to get the handle off however I'm waiting for tonight then the fun can begin

Great list of things to be working on. I've done pretty much every single one of those updates you've listed. Best of luck with it.
