Happy with the wings/bonnet? I like the way they painted the supports but on the skin.  :happy2:

Paint man has done a gleaming job on the wings & bonnet and I'll be happy to use him for work the Lupo needs.

Paint will be inspected by midlands car care tomorrow, I'm sure if anyone can find any issues , Russ will.

Handling is amazing. Only driven 100 miles but it felt great.  Combination of superpro ball joints, billsteins & ground control top mounts mean ultimate adjustability.

Track day & proper review after I get back from Cyprus.

Oh, the AKS / Brembo brakes...   :surprised: :surprised: :surprised: Bloody awesome.

How much clearance are there between the outer edge of the caliper to the inside of the rim Mike?
I'm putting the 18" TD PR 1.2 on th car tomorrow and i'm a bit worried about clearance to the balancing "pads" located on the outside of the rim in regards to caliper clearance  :sad1:

Depending on your wheel weights and they're placement Jake, I think it could be quite tight.

Very tight Jake. Weights need sticking slightly up the spokes. I will try and get some pics.

Cheers Alex and Mike, i was expecting it to be tight so i might try to remove the ones fiteed and refit them to other locations, but pictures would be great Alex  :drinking:
