I will take them off if they cause any more issues getting the car on the dyno or ramps.

Or if I decide to go back to an OEM or ASM front bumper.

Otherwise I cba to remove them, they are very well secured to the car.

Arms finished and ready to go on. Sounds like a lot of surgery was needed to get those pesky bushes out

Shine/asm bumper?

I do like the js front on your car I wouldn't change, not normally a fan of it, must be the colour.

Irv, FI is for benders

Looking forward, once Dixon has done all the suspension / geo / brakes this week, it just needs Yokohamas fitting and it's good to go for the track season. Wing will be here the end of this month, and will probably just use OEM wheels for now.

Recorded for posterity

You can't do everything for weight saving otherwise your car will look pants! You've still got to have something nice to look at...

I'd pay 10x more for a t-shirt/shirt because it has a little symbol on when I could get one for about £5 at Asda or Tescos etc... Why? because I feel it looks better (and people look at the symbol instead of my muffin top )

Car all done and ready SOunds like DMS have been busy!

Nitrons fitted
Full geo with some nice custom Dixon track settings
Dixcels racing discs and pads all round fitted
Front arm surgery done and all polybushed
Hardrace arms on
Some other tweaks

Nitron and Dixon are going to check the car over when I collect it, and will get it on track in a few weeks.

Excited to collect it.
