Have you considered mounting that exhaust with rubber hangers. You'll probably crack welds without it, ask me how I know

Havent updated this thread for a while as been quite busy finishing the car (well at least Spencer from BMP Conversions) - and looks like I am only a few weeks away.
There have been a lot of small tweaks that we had to make to make sure everything was working together and we had some other teething issues - like vanos solenoid needed refurbing and voltage regulator needed replacing. A coil pack shorted out and further coding of the ECU was required.
No real pictures as I havent upload them but here are a couple.
The first is the new battery - looks amazing and it tiny. Only weights 2.1kg
Boot lid now refitted with the M3 spoiler and DTM carbon gurney flap
DTM suspension is going in this week and then we just need to make some adjustments to the new pedal box and gear shifter set up.

The reproduction prodrive struts use e39 wheel bearings - which is a good solution as the orignal prodrive bearings are £800 or something silly. It does mean the wheel bearing lip needs to be machined down a fraction to accept a 72.6mm bore wheel - but when those bearings are only £40 plus a little machining its well worth it.Last edited by superleggeram3; 03-15-2016, 02:58 AM.

Thanks for the tip on the Italian arms. Going to check those out!

Yeah I was going to say the bolt pattern in the uprights looked a lot like the E39 bearing, but wasn't 100% sure because of the different centerbore size in the wheel bearing. Cool stuff! Did the final offset change much compared to the older strut setup you had on there previously?

Despite the wheel needing new barrels to change the offset and width I will be able to run a 235 wide tyre up front which Im pleased about.
