Thanks mate, The headlights were done by the previous owner, they look a glossy black colour. The wheels are Rota Force 18x9 et35 with 245/40/18s, the arches have been rolled and pulled out slightly.

I was running 235/40/18s with almost 3.5 degrees neg camber on the rear up until last week... currently just under a degree of neg on the rear and 1.5 on the front, im experimenting with DIY alignment at the moment trying to get the right balance of grip and feel

Just a little tip on aerocatches, the mixture of plastic and metal tends to get quite frictional after a while of use. So as a 6 monthly thing I would give them a little grease on the moving/sliding parts. Otherwise they are a quality bit of kit!

Looks good too!

They are aero-catches. Literally mechanical locks to fix a panel down, but they mount flush with the surface, more aerodynamic than other types of catch.

Ok thanks. I know I run the risk of not sounding very knowledgable especially considering Im the only one asking what they are but why do you need one on the bonnet or anywhere for that matter? Is it if the catch breaks?

Bonnet catches aren't the most reliable of things at high speed. Especially with the scoobies with aluminium bonnets that love to flap around! It's just a safety measure for most on the road.

Lol, thanks. I came to the conclusion that they must angle more air towards the TMI or something, hence aero 'catcher'.
