    Its still a nice looking car though and the calipers look good to, IMO just needs a spoiler. The lights are from the later style C70 cant remember the price of them, I think I'm still due my dad for them ha ha. There's pics in my photo album of them.
    Thanks

    The new brakes do look the part, and wheels of course. Are they the 312mm discs? Might seem a stupid question but I have never upgraded brakes how easy is it? I assume other than new caliper carrier and caliper you just have to swap brake lines and re-bleed.
    Arguing is pointless....she may not be right but she's never wrong

    Tell her a remap is just having your satnav updated.....
