Not sure on the exact measurements, but the ones I first got from JB, are OE wishbones, that have just been strengthened... or am I getting it wrong? lol
Basically, you have standard OE ones, then first set I got from JB, which are identical but with strengthening, then I have my new new ones, which are completely custom, slightly longer than OE ones to give me instant negative camber which is what I wanted
greetings from sunny spain olly!!!

Hiya Matt, yeah great time thanks!
Got my new rear polycarbs which are only 2mm thick, instead of my current 3mm thick to save some more weight yesterday, in preperation for my FG bonnet and boot.
Had a delivery today of my shares... shares in Grayston Bonnet pins lol

Will probably cut this inner panel out to reduce the weight further

Badda-bing, will be fitting them on Saturday

My plans with the car have changed slightly -
Negliable, but along with my new rear 3 polycarbs, I'll no longer run names on rear windows, and I'll be removing my white sprint door squares, seeing as the local sprints are over with for this season
I'll concentrate more on trackdays, until I have some friendly sprint competition (*ahem* LiquidPug, m17tty, nova ian, Paul205 *ahem*)
So it might even go back to sleeperish with absolutely no stickers on, and smooth sides
I've sold on the wide rear quarters and rear bumper, simply because I worked out it'd cost the best part of £1200 to wide track it properly, with new wheels, new new new lower wider front arms, widening beam, fitting, making it look nice, and spraying it etc... for absolutely zero gain.
I've kept hold of the front wide wings, just so I can fit them and see what I think they look like without wide rears, I know Oli has them like that (and I personally think it looks awesome) but different colours make things appear majorly different.
I've bought a bottle jack to widen the rears slightly, as I only need enough to fit a 3mm spacer, so going wide was a bit OTT for such a little amount of space needed.
Other than that, thats it for now... I've cancelled tomorrows trackday at Donington Park, in preperation for a somewhat more important event, TOTB, next weekend :)

4kg tailgate, jesus, light as fook lol
Good wee update mate
They staying white or they getting painted ?
Ad - 4kg is damn light isn't it, will remove the interior panel aswell, 2mm polycarb shouldn't weigh too much, and I'll be having a stick-on rear plate to reduce the weight even moreso :)
Vaughan - the panels will probably stay white, as I doubt I'll have time to spray them, but I might go and get some paint tomorrow, and get them sprayed up for fitting before TOTB, either way they'll be on the car, just unsure what colour yet lol
lol Nice one mate
Black bonnet and a body-colour tailgate, sweeeet !
eugh noooo not black bonnet.
If I'm going to the effort of spraying them at all, might aswell be bodycolour lol
i'l be at TOTB Olz, will come say hello seens as tho i missed ya at PV
