Looks good. Personally I hate it when people get a bit too liberal with the stickers. :whistle:
Great racing pics BTW.

I've got the same Black Pro Race, I initially bought them about a year ago to use as track wheels like you are, with Rally Slicks on, decided they looked better and I dont tend to do many track days in the 500, cus we have an older Mk.2 Punto set for track days, so they are my road alloys, with the esseesse rims wearing the slicks, love the pro race though, black looks aggressive with the white

Standard wheels are so heavy after using the pro races best investment to date  :thumb:

next mod is finish the exhaust and then brakes might take a rest for a while then  ::) nearly done 11k best start driving it rather than polishing it  :o

Car looks great with the black wheels  8)

I've been thinking of de-stickering mine for a while now. Just not keen on how it emphasises the top of the side skirt on the back quarter.

Those pics have me missing our old Clio now, what suspension do you have ?
The Clio is so flat in comparison ( it's not even got the cup pack ) from pics 64-69

Mines on Bilsteins the clio was on standard stuff with strut braces upper and lower both ends nice kid had a top gear 3-4 laps pretty close bumper 2 bumper

mine looks a little off balance due to the fact the clio was in the way thus trying a different line through the fast part into the hairpin  :thumb: other pics its more settled  ;D

Quite a bit of body roll there Ricey... are the Bilsteins quite soft? Car looks planted though. You fully set up the geometry? Camber, toe, etc?

Nice pics  :thumb:

Done zip Joe except install them and go on track twice, i'll get it done for next years track schedule
Bilsteins aren't perfect for track and if id spent the money again id go KW's never been a fan of Coilovers after i had them on my GOLF

Body roll i was trying to get it to slide through the fast turn before the hairpin but never quiet lost grip
