I know it’s an illusion, but the wheels like a subtle gold /bronze in that light, which works with the Midnight blue paint colour. Fab colour!

What’s going on with the parking though? Haha!

Are you taking it on the track? If not, what would be the reason for lowering it further?

Looks really good mate, and great photography. I really love the deep midnight blue, suits the car well. I know you’re looking at alternative wheel options, but what about some spacers for now to bring the wheels out a bit? If you went up to 12mm absolute max front and rear, you wouldn’t need to be grinding studs down and bolting spacers to hubs and wheels to spacers, which gives you options to revert back etc. you need different nuts with longer threads, as the OE ones don’t give you enough turns of lock with the spacers. Happy to share details of what I got if it helps. Send me a message.

Looks great as it is so you can guess I'm going to say don't bother.

For what it's worth, I have raised my Griff 10mm since im unlikely to do any more track days and it feels better on the road.
