I actually cut the 90 off and put the filter back on so its closer to the engine, think it looks cleaner, sort of look I'm trying to achieve.

Update, fitted PCV deleted and trail fitted wheels to see what the wings gave me on front clearance, May have to shave a few mm off the fronts to pull them in a bit, also waiting on edition rear and bought a set of R8 calipers .

airbagaaron:
Couple more updates, left my wheels off at a local engineering firm to get 4mm lathed off the rear to increase the ET to ensure they fit better on the front and rear, 4mm will allow the rear to pull in and allow me to drop the car more at the front.

Also took delivery of my front brakes, just have to source disks which shouldn't be too hard in talks with Kyle of the forum here. All is coming together nicely. Once I get the brakes on and wheels back sending car off to paint before I head off to UD.



Thanks for looking.

airbagaaron:
Got my wheels lifted today, two day turn around was very happy with the work and cost to do it! Will use him again for another few bits and pieces.



Also got my edition rear, so put it on but the sun was setting so picture is t that great, hope to have brakes painted and on over the weekend along with the wheels painted ready for tyres off to paint next week  :happy2:

airbagaaron:
So another quick update,  :smiley:

Got brakes printed and mounted, bought a ramair filter to replace existing, got black caps for coolant and washer bottle at UD. Also got wheels painted. Run into an issue with the wheels, the engineering firm i got to mill the wheels down 4mm took them down un-level which almost looked like they took 4mm off one side and 2-3mm off the other side creating an angle that i never noticed until the wheels were put on the wheel balancer. Issue was sorted in the end up and with freshly painted wheels it was a nightmare  :scared:

Quick picture below of the car before i send it off to the paint shop. Get the high adjusted and the rear camber sorted all should be ok.

 

Thanks for looking!
