I can't answer that as they send the new wheel out, you swap it over and send yours back to them.

It's not too chunky though. Really is very nice.

All exterior carbon is now gloss black and it looks much better IMO, especially now I've had the paintwork sorted so there's no stone chips, scratches etc. It looks almost brand new. I'll get pictures up for anyone interested over the weekend/early next week.

Few more bits left to arrive engine wise and it'll all be done together. I've ordered some decent EBC brake discs/pads as they needed replacing anyway and I'm sick of the M Performance brake squeal which seems to be common.

I know which wheels I want to put on now... but unsure as to colour; I'd appreciate any opinions?

I've had good experiences with CM Wheels in the past. I'm leaning towards Hyper Silver.

(Has to be one of the above as I've ordered and paid and both colours are due in next week, just need to choose)

Hyper silver no question.

This lot is impressive, has he fitted it yet? If bit, tell him to get on with it, can't wait to see the results!!!

I'm with you on the Hyper Silver I think.

Still waiting on everything arriving, missed UPS on Friday, they'll try again Monday, so I'm hoping it was everything else except the exhaust which will be another 4 weeks, custom built in Germany apparently.




Not the best pictures, sent to me by my brother who has been putting the gloss black bits on for me.

Meanwhile, I've had this on extended test drive;




I'd never get tired of being massaged along the motorway, I think they'll make a nice combo.

Brakes are on, still waiting on the new wheels to be delivered.





Looking forward to the engine stuff arriving.

Look's really good, what brake discs did you go for and are you lowered?

Embarrassingly I'm not sure what the discs are, other than they're EBC with Yellow Stuff pads. I'll have to check the box.

It's lowered using ACS Springs. Coilovers are on their way.

[AB]

I'm not sure they're compatible

[AB]

In which case, no problem, I'll PM you when they're off.

[AB]

Intercooler, pipes and intake is on, comparison of old vs new before they went on. Eisenmann exhaust/decat are still on order, hoping they'll be sorted next week. Turbo maybe a bit longer to get here.






I found some corner extension things which I think finish the rear diffuser off really well. Decided to go with them.





Wheels are going on tomorrow which I'm excited about. I still haven't given it much of a drive since the engine bits and pieces have gone in but initial impressions are great.

Then once all this is done, remap time. Allegedly 500ish bhp should be the end result.

Thanks guys. The rear brakes to match the fronts have just been dropped off by DPD so they'll be going on tomorrow. I think the discs look great behind the wheels.

Looks really good, where are the rear corner splats from?
