Maybe a boot spoiler?

I made some 4 pot Brembo fronts for his, 316mm I think to improve things a bit.

He seems to like them.

Did you use wheel spacers?

what for the 744? no i like the boot as it is, the spoilers are old fashioned, i want one for the 745 though, wheel wise i couldnt find any well priced 18" wheels in et20 so i bought 850 fitment and using H&R spacers all round,

Yeah yeah lol, try it in the wet or snow lol.

I think my s60r owed me £800 once I sold the stuff off that came with it, so it was very cheap speed. Cheaper even than an 850, costs a fair bit to get them up to similar bhp and shimming the liners is t hard either.

yeah i put comets on first off the v70r i just broke, but they looked just wrong, so i splashed out £1200 on the spacers wheels and tyres, took me 2 months to get it on the road from a scrapyard lol, now its mot'd and taxed and where is it? in the garage lol not being used
