Cheers for the comments folks, they are what the car needed. Not cheap but worth every penny in my eyes.

Just wait to get the upper spoiler sorted for the rear then the car will look different again.

One thing i did notice straight away is the car handles completely different and to be honest not as good as the 15" but some things have to give.

Update on the engine side of things i have never managed to cure the slight judder in the rev range so i have decided to go for the MSD wasted spark conversion and get them to check the map around vacuum pressure.

I nearly make the big jump last week and buy a T4 hybrid but chickened out at the last minute but CR Turbo's will be overhauling the T34 for including 360's and poss angled blades etc.

More updates when i have some more money :lol: :lol:

Finally got some decent pictures and now i can confirm the wheel sizes.

I have slight scrubbing on the rear arches when the car is on load and i've discovered why

The fronts are 8.5 x 17" and the rears are 9.5 x 17" :o i was told they were 7.5" front and 8" rear, never mind wider the better

Small update

My RS500 upper spoiler will be with me next Tuesday and will be straight in the paintshop and fitted by the end of the week along with the lower spoiler.

I have been speaking to Dave from DMB and he is making up some new graphics for me which include:

I had made a replica image of the compomotive centre cap but have since gone off the idea as it wouldn't look right against the black paint

Image

So i've decided to go with the more subtle design in 66mm

Image

Like i said in other posts that i didn't want to badge the car as anything other than it is so instead of the tickford badge i have this badge made in gel overlay to go in the same place. 95mm x 12mm

Image

And the new wing badge which is slightly different to the one that's on the car at the minute but will be in the darker colour to match the origianl colour boot decal.

Got the spoiler today in a wooden crate :o yes it looked like a coffin :lol: , but my painter is off for the week so it'll be next week now.

Here's some pictures of the car with the badges fitted.

Image
Image

Wheel centre in the compomotive font they don't normal do their centres in but i think it looks better than the standard design.

Image

And wing badges which i quite like.

That looks stunning Chris. Made the right choice with those centre caps and the motorsport badges look sweet. Don't fancy a swap for a half molested *cough* I mean half finished Series 2? :lol:

Coolers fine mate and it's noticed a difference but it's 20mm thicker, i personally think the are decent, yes heavy but the welds are perfectly fine and deal with my 25psi+ so on a RS Turbo they'd be no problem
