Yep Caprisports kit, 315mm discs and Brembo's from an Alfa, I think Neil mentioned a price of £450 for the complete kit.

Thanks...
here's a nice pic I took of it at the Ace, now with RFX wheels on which I think are an improvement on the 280 wheels although I'm not sure.

Yeah, they look good them Simon.
Bit different to 280 wheels, even if they were painted black. Keep 'em on!

So were the rims off the race car?
I'd spotted the subtle difference, since Mk.
Also has the bonnet bulge been lowered slightly?
Car is looking good Simon.

Nope...
they're 7x15's where as the race car uses 8x15 & 9x16's. The only thing I've taken off the race car is the RS 4-spoke steering wheel.
Bonnet bulge still the same, still not sure what I want to do with it. Very tempted to put a standard bonnet back on and get rid of the air filter as I'm sure I'll blow the engine up before I wear the bores out

I might be interested in your bonnet if you did get rid of i
..I like that slightly taller bulge, subtle, but mean looking. If ou do decide to change back, give me a shout
I'm the one who leaves all those shoes in the carriageway.
