I think they look just like the opel ones!
Cheers I'll get it printed lol Thanks to Turbojolt for some anti-slip padding/deadening I have a semi watchable video with my new Manfrotto double ball mount and Canon IXUS 115 camera:

So hopefully I'll capture some usable footage at Blyton next weekend :)
Sample video, still could be better tbh:

Interesting day at Blyton today!
Rear semi slicks were scrubbing the inner arch, so I had to raise the rear ride height to stop it.
Managed to smash it in 1st twice instead of 3rd at full chat. Third gear is now crunching in almost every time so think the 3rd synchro is knackered.
When changing back to road tyres, found an enormous amount of oil on the drivers side, all over the wheel, lower arm, tie bar etc. Suspect sump gasket at the moment but need to investigate further.
Alternator belt somehow managed to turn itself inside out and run on the outside edge of the lower pulley, miraculously didn't come off! Wonder if they're not lined up well...
There was a new circuit for the second half of the day too, which was interesting. I have some videos of both circuits to crop to the best few laps when I have a moment.
Anyway, a few pics!

Wasn't long before I tried to get additional cooling cos it was getting warm, off comes the grille again:

Tripodding! Apparently was doing it on most corners from what other drivers said...

Oh and I think my tyre softener worked a little too well lol Although I need to do some research in to tyre pressures; they look to be too inflated when hot but were scarily sketchy when cold...

nice photos mate, whats the deal with the cooling issues do you need a bigger rad or something?
Water temps look OK, oil temps were rising again so just exposed the oil cooler a bit more. Plus it looks hardcore?! lol
yer hardcore straight out of looms affect ftw lol
p.s hope you kept in front of the scooby all day mate lol
Don't remember if I was faster than him or not actually! Did OK against a few other things though.
Oh another thing to add to the disasters, ran out of fuel on the M1 on the way home and broke my hazard switch smashing it in the outside lane lol
Video showing 'new' part of the circuit and me flinging the poor thing about!
