Much easier to see your car's stance now that you haven't photographed her on grass.
If you are looking to lose weight - Carbonfibre bonnet? You can paint the outside top (as I have done) if you don't like the look.

Yeah im planning on getting a carbon bonnet and having it painted.. Think its 12KG saved, so well worth it along with some carbon front wings..

Am I right in calculating they'll sit 9mm further out that a Monza II, are you getting any arch issues?
Hope you don't mind but I've sent a link of your pic to Tabs over on uk-MKIVs, as he's looking at them too. If not, let me know and I'll delete it.

Lol thats fine mate..
Yeah I had to do a fair bit of work to make them fit, and there is no way you could have it anywhere near as low as I have it without having the camber adjustable top mounts, adding negative camber gives you another 10-15mm clearance at the top..
So is everyone going to end up with Turini's now? Lol.. :sad:
broke.:
how did you have your plate when you were stopped? was it because you had the small one on?
those dymag wheels look insane :happy2:
jonnyc:
Yeah had the tiny plate on.. Looked immense but out of the three times I drove the car I got stopped twice lol..
So got boring big plates on now and £30 lighter :(
broke.:
my new plate is gunna be shortened but its the prefix option so can have a shortened plate 320mm. legal letters so should get away with it. police up here (nr. leeds) aren't bad at all, i drove my saxo (i know i know) with no front plate and my rear plate in the back window and never got stopped once. and that was like that for 18 months driving everyday. cool for me but worrying from a law-abiding citizen's POV

....I'm sure you already know that negative camber is going to adversely effect your tyres' life. Why not choose something like KW Clubsports where you can simply dial-in the negative camber just for track days.
