Does it means that after 7 years and 50.000km mine has not settled yet? rofl (and yes, the iPhone camera is "accentuating" it)

Look (recent "boring" pic for the insurance company)



And a close up



Ah, hold on a second.

That's definitely not an Aero S5 doh

Which means that the 'flaw' of the rear wheels not being centred in the arch isn't unique to the S5... & if it's on the Supersports, is it also on the AeroMax?

& why does it affect some cars, but not others?

Is it the wheel position that's different, or is the body positioned differently on the chassis?
[Looking at my S5, which has offset wheels, there's a slight gap between the leading edge of the wheelarch & trailing edge of the front wing. Perhaps the arch could be moved forwards.]

If it's the wheel/suspension position on the chassis, it will affect handling. I wonder whether 'forward' or 'centred' position is correct?

My thoughts exactly Will - why does it affect some cars and not others!!

I kinda like all the talk around springs, bushes etc.....as it gives me hope (just a little) that the issue can be rectified......either that......or I might as well fill the useless boot full of spuds and fix the issue rofl
