Yes I think I came across those ones at some point can't remember looked at so many. The other reason when for these ones is Drew from Roverdose (name may be wrong) said he supply's and uses them with no problem... So far :laughing2 I'm hoping to be on track in March to try them :wink3

Got the other camber arms today and glad to say they will work perfect :tt2 got plenty of room for adjustment from standard to around -3 degrees (could go more with coilovers i think as trailing arm hits the lower shock body) So thats one job sorted on to the next hundreds :tumbleweed

Those white multispoke alloys look really nice against the factory colour.

Don't think be brave enough for white wheels, you should see the dust that comes off the pads and if you leave it you can't get it of :mouthshut I've got GTI wheels to fit once I've got front discs made up (has 330x28mm at mo from ZR) just need to see what biggest disc and run hoping for 295x28mm. Not sure on wheel colour yet. Engine bay will be white, engine and gearbox be the orange that's on wheels, bottom half of car and trim be same top half and the red strip in trim be same as wheels.... What ever that will be :laughing2

Hoping the next stage goes quite smoothly, it looks like you've got everything lined up and ready to go.
