Thanks for the comments chaps. 
Ben, the brakes have been checked over many times, there's nowt wrong with them. It will be interesting to see what difference new suspension makes. Which leads on to... New suspension!  I'm looking at getting Gpr N dampers with Faulkner springs. I've been speaking with kam on this matter. They've got plenty of the 155lb models, but can also do 165 - 170lb for the same price. I'm undecided on what to go for.  Can anyone offer some advice please?
Finchy, you definately interested? Shall we say sometime mid July then? That will gve me enough time to get another set and fit them.
Danny, I certainly agree about the rubber. If I'm going to start taking this track bound, I will be looking at another set of rims with R888s. I'm tempted by the Ultraleggera in white!
Adjustable top mounts:

Cheers dudes.
Bullit, I took the pics with an 8mb camera, and then downsized them, so yes, I've got some bigger pictures! I put the one (maybe 3 actually) of the shot from far away as you complained the other time that there wasn't one from far away... Tisk tisk, never satisfied are you! hehe
I few peeps have commented on the white fibreglass bonnet not being to their tastes, which I'm totally cool with. It looks better in the flesh though, honest. Danny would agree would you not?
I got the polycarbs from www.platics4performance.co.uk I think all 5 screens cost around £300 there or there abouts. The fronts aren't mounted actually, I just put silicon around the edges and rammed them up into the closed postion, and got a mate to hold them there. What are mates for eh?

yh toad i agree, it does look VERY nice in person., im thinking of getting fibreglass panels and having them sprayed instead of carbon as its very expensive.
cheers for the link toad, id have to find some way of properly mounting them, a good thing is you dont have to keep window winder mechanism.

Well exactly, the electric window crap weighs, so getting rid of all that only helps the cause.
What do you mean about properly mounting them? I put them in the way the chaps from the company who made them told me to...
