    Definitely.

    The wheels, combined with the arches, front bumper/spoiler and the lovely touch of Mk.2 Astra GTE bonnet vents. It's working for me.

    Oh, and that rear spoiler too

    I was having a read back at the earlier build stages, and noticed you were planning to use Torques stuff.

    Just a note of caution; a friend of mine used their hose for his dry sump system plumbing, and found the oil pressure falling away as the engine was revved. The hose was collapsing inwards under vacuum, cue £5k engine rebuild.

    Torques held their hands up and compensated him. Needless to say he's now using proper Goodridge hose.

    Thanks for the Heds up mate, I’ll keep that in mind when I come to that part of the build. Cheers
