You have been very busy JJ. Looking good mate :thumbsup

Quick question on the front splitter is that easy to fit as I ned to fit a new one on my Exige :?: Do you need a ramp :?:

Cheers dudes :D

Ken, the splitter is bolt on like the exige one, but to fit this one you need to drill holes which you wont have to do.

I only jacked it up at one side front wheel jacking point and that gave me enough clearance to work with.

If you are a member of SELOC click this link and it`ll take you to the details.....

Spent yesterday dismantling and fitting new exhaust and a few bits and pieces. Bit disappointed with the Janspeed (second hand but bought direct from them) in the sound dept, it sounds nice but not loud enough for me.....

Things still to do before TT are the wheelnut changeover, swap out the front pads for the new pagids, and fit the gearlinkage bushes.

I'm not a Slecock member - and I could be really doing with one of those since the now infamous cattle grid incident (haven't heard about it - I'm sure Mandy will give chapter and verse over the weekend!)

Can you PM some details instead?

Be aware the splitter bolts to the front clam so sits about 10mm lower. It'll be fine on a standard car like JJ's but on yours mac, it'll probably be ripped off within no time at all.

nah ... Mandy's car will be fine....

the cattle grid removed at least 10mm so with the splitter it'll be back to the way it was.... :wink:

JJ, Car is looking the biz mate 8)

Where did you get your Compomotives from? Still have the notion to get a set of 48's. Presume the Compomotives will fit the 111R?

But then they`d just look like exige wheels.... Compomotives look the nuts!

I got mine second hand but unused. Compomotive will make any offsets you want, and they would cost similar to a used set of Exige wheels (£800ish).

According to SELOC they are heavy though (same weight as standard rims) but very strong.
