Well, they're on!!!!!!!!!!!! :D

Here are a few photos when I went posing around Clifton yesterday. I also took the liberty of dropping the car another 25mm whilst fitting the wheels. Had some clearance issues with the coilovers intially but with a bit of adjustment, I found the 1mm I needed!

Really pleased with them, just need to maybe kick the back ones out a bit but that can be done over the next few weeks.

Took them out for a good test run today on the Cirencester mini meet. Boy does this thing stick to the road, as the other guys who came can probably confirm, every corner is an opportunity for some fun!

Obsolutely loving them! :th:

I had the pleasure of seeing these in the flesh today at the mini meet.

Ant you know how I feel about these but I'll say it again.....they look sweeeeett!! I'm very jealous :clapping: They're stunning in the flesh. I think other D1r owners will be slightly jealous! :th: :laughing

I can tell that your handling has improved with the extra width & drop as I don't think anyone could keep up with you in the corners! :laughing

:rofl: It's the awesome power it produces mate.
I had to keep backing off going up Cheddar Gorge on the tunnel run...... ;)

Considering it's only got an induction kit + exhaust and still has the cat fitted I'm happy with the RR figures achieved last weekend.
