Thanks for the info. Are your wheels painted or powder coated? Don't suppose you got any more photos you care to share?

I have cup IIs so not sure it will look spot on as yours does. I think I'll need to lower the stock suspension too and get the colour centre crests to finish... This spring / summer is looking expensive.

Please remember, Imitiation is the sincerest form of flattery .. . . .

My wheels are painted, better finish. Powder coating is more resistant, though high temperatures on wheels could be dangerous.

Cup II, IMHO, should be ok in black.
More photos will be soon on for you.

ciao

Running the solid mounts was what caused mine to crack i assume. I have since switched to Wevo semi-solid mounts, they are great.

Although I'm glad I didn't read threads like this BEFORE I bought the car.

Default failing engine carriers

do you think this could be a result from jacking on the engine to lift the car on jack stands????

I never did that, but I only own the car from 2 years...
