After near 9 months of ownership and 4k miles on the clock I am almost finished with the upgrades so decided to give a little update (wish I could have joined the lunch but was not in the country)

- oil pan baffles
- oil catch tank
- rear toe in brackets
- 6pot alcons with SRT disc in the front
- RT front calipers and discs with brackets in the back
- stainless steel lines
- separate handbrake calipers
- wheel spacers
- H&R lowering springs
- clutch pedal lowering bracket
- seat lowering kit
- alpine ipod headunit
- JL Audio 6in Subwoofer
- HID kit

Now the toughest question are the wheels. I have a set of CCW classics and I am really tempted to use them for daily driving. However this would mean that I will have to kiss good bye the Hoosier A6 slicks - anybody interested in buying 315/30/18 and 335/30/18 slicks? I still have a set of brand new Kumho V700 which I could put on the OEM wheels for track days.

Here are some pics of the rear CCW's - the car sits high as haven't had the chance to drive it after fitting the new springs. What are your thoughts - CCW's or OEM?

Its your choice but i prefer the oem, the CCW have to much metal so those lovely calipers and disks cant be seen.

also if all else fails you can at least heat up your cup of tea on a sunny day with the parabolic effect of oem wheels

OEMs for me as well, the CCW design to me make them look small and dated, but its a personal thing

I like the OEM, but I think I'd plump for the CCW's.

There's a lot of shiny metal on those CCW's......Mine have blacked out centers, that might look a little better? Not sure really? OEM are ok, but I do like CCW's Sorry I can't be more helpful frown
Wheels are very much a personal thing.
