Went and collected the tyres from Parcel Force earlier and the tuner nuts arrived I'm delighted. I get the wheels back from getting c5/exo coating tomorrow as well safe to say I'm buzzing for Saturday to get everything fitted.

Haha I tried to take the spacers out but obviously it has extended bolts so I'll need to go get some shorter ones from the hardware shop

Going a bit lower today on the rear and possibly on the front depending on when I fit the splitter if it will catch bumps etc last thing I want to do is rip it off after fitting lol

Not to sure where to go with the performance next to be honest I'd like to get it on a dyno and check out what it's running I've been told 450 but who knows it pulls great though so possibly add meth and have that mapped in?

Back of my head I'd love to have it around 650 but not sure what's needed to get there with my set up (full spec on the first post)
