Upside down top hat!

Lovely car - Lanoguard does attract dirt but I've found it can be pressure washed off without affecting the coating. I'm very impressed with it.
You win! Correct answer. Thanks for the tip. I have it on the Discovery but that’s always up the mountains so don’t care about the aesthetics. It’s a bit different on the GP, strangely I want it looking perfect.

This thread has prompted me to buy some of this stuff for my new BBS E88s and one of those wheel swap bolts-why has it taken me so long to get one-what a back saver!
I had them on my R8 to protect the carbon ceramics but they are brilliant at what they do. Also you’ll love the protection, brake dust slips off.

Bit of an update.

The weather here in Wales has been amazing recently. Nice dry roads which makes for perfect spirited driving.

I took the GP for a 3hr lap of Snowdonia and it made me all fizzy! It’s so planted now with the mods I’ve done, no torque steer or snappy oversteer. I have full confidence to push on.

Couldn’t be happier with it…… it’s a keeper for sure.

It looks like it would fit in well with the Mini Challenge series as well as the country roads!

Pardon my language, but that car looks the fking bks cool I'm loving the wheels and I could be quite tempted to do a couple of similar mods to my JCW given how much you seem to like it.

It’s funny how some very minor changes can make so much difference to both aesthetics and performance.

I love it.

Go for it!

Loved the photos of the wheel and arch clean. The suspension cleaning and protection is right up my street. You’ll have zero issues selling your car with that level of detail on maintaining it. Great job.
