Very close to perfection. If it had the roof off it would be that little bit closer wink

Thanks chaps. Here's a couple more including it behaving properly. On the low down shot I've noticed a problem. The orange tinge to the wheel is in fact rust dust. I'd washed it and put it away for a couple of weeks before I took it out yesterday which meant a layer of rust on the discs. A couple of miles down the road and the wheels are covered in it. Ah well.









Yee haa!

Nice, what calipers / disks are you running?

Calipers and discs are just standard but with Mintex 1144 pads and braided hoses. They're actually still the ones that came with the car, although the pads are nearly done, as its only done just over 8k miles. Shameful I know but when I bought it 2 years ago it had only done 1600 miles, and I have my Elan to keep me occupied too.

The calipers were painted by the factory, it was on the options list for the 190, cost something ridiculous like £200!

Amazing photos. The car looks great and I love those wheels. Looks like the perfect track day weapon smile
