    Already had that done, you can see the machining marks from this on the pic after the BMW wheel.

    The turrets modified how they are give me more room than I actually need, I was aiming to have them even futher back and inwards slightly but the topmount runs out of "flat" at the top of the turret so it won't bolt up nicely.

    Wheel arch is dirty.







    Good work on the turret, mod the tie bar next.

    2 hours with a file as he's afraid of man tools.

    Afraid of manly tools in front of my own car, don't mind so much with other peoples

    Yes took me roughly an hour per turret with a curved metal file, then painted with a bit of 2pack paint. Powertools would have been quicker but hopefully this was neater and protected the rest of the bay from sparks.

    Looking nice mate. Sure I saw it in the flesh in Nottingham on Saturday waiting at A610 island. I was next to you in my van.

    Cheers Nathan. You still got your track car? I'm sure I remember seeing you & it at Donington a few years ago.

    I fancied fitting a third brakelight as I quite like the idea of them for visibility as I'm often late on the brakes, off to the scrappy I went and picked up a 106/306 unit for £3.

    Some basic bracketry was all it needed:



    Bolted on and wiring plug spliced into original wiring:



    Rear view:



    And through the window
