Well, we had one week in the sun together
It was worth the four month wait. My 4/4 'Sport' 1.6 Sigma on TBs/Tubular Manifold/Hi-flow Cat is here. I have never had so much fun within the legal speed limits

Richard's spot-on. 205/60 15s
According to the factory, a first on a (production) 4/4 - The wings had to be trimmed a little wider to accomodate alloys, around halfway between a +4 and a standard 4/4.
You'd need very sharp eyes to spot it: due to the difference in offset between the alloys and wires, most of the extra rim width is inboard of the hubs so the wings keep the 'narrow body' look I wanted.

I'm glad you said that about the wing fettling as my first impression was that the rear wings looked wider than my 2009 Sport.
Lovely looking car with easy up lid as well.
Enjoy.

Ah..that explains how you got them to fit. Very bespoke!

Jays - have you had any further thoughts on throttle bodies for your car?
I'm still 'running-in' (ie staying below 4,500 rpm) on my new one so I will reserve judgement on the definitive differences with the set-up on my standard car, but even exercising serious restraint it feels very different.

Funny you should ask me that.....my car is booked into the factory next Monday for the Aero Racing kit to be fitted. It's been a long wait as I was down to have the car sent to Omex for them to develop their new kit but that approach seemed to fizzle out for one reason or another.
I'll report back once they are fitted. Good timing really as I'll be taking the car to Prescott on the 14th October for their Members Day "a day on the hill" I'll be interested to see how it goes up there compared to my last visit!

I'm sure you'll be pleased with the result. In fact, with no running in of a new engine required, you'll have a huge grin the very first time you press the throttle more than half-way.  Have fun at Prescott. Stuart

Hi twotribes you have made a wonderful choice. The black alloys are looking great. If possible please post some more pics from different angels to get a better idea about the overall proportions of her. Quite good looking so far.
