It fits perfectly everywhere except that drivers side wing. I actually have to use bonnet pins to hold it in place properly. Apparently there are a lot like this. You don't really notice it on the car tbh... I might try and trim it a bit on that wing to see if I can make it more flush. Did you just use a flap wheel?

1. Geometry set up as per btcc spec cars.... Pray tell us more...!
2. Your lighter wheels, I forget are they 16s td 1.2s?
3. When you took your suspension apart to locate the knock, was it just the wishbones you took off?
4. Your brembos, are you using those tarox g88(?) discs for no squeal? Either way, how is the squeal? Is the stopping g power noticeably better over stock 6 calipers?
1. Obviously we struggle to set up the rear beam as per, as they run more toe, but the front end can be set up as such. They run toe out and different caster / camber than a lowered road car.
2. Yep, TD 1.2 in 16", powder coated. They are about 8kg each as opposed to the 12kg each of a challenger.
3. No, I took the wishbones out, bushes out, front struts out, laid everything on the drive and cleaned EVERYTHING, including the subframe. I had already changed the balljoints, top mounts etc but that didn't fix it. I did also nip up all the bolts for the roll cage, but doubtful that would clunk under your feet...
4. Yep, I use Tarox G88 Xantia V6 discs, no squeal whatsoever to be honest. Stopping power, awesome. Pedal travel, unacceptable. 4 pistons per brake caliper mean so much more fluid to more, the pedal moves so much before you start to slow down. I've got an even bigger master cyl in the shed I plan on fitting when I've got time.
