Congratulations - now comes the difficult part(s)...
That's my fear, I'm hoping to gain just enough with some 20mm spacers which should give me around 8-10mm more clearance as the fouling areas are around half way down the bonnet if not slightly more forwards.

I'm glad I paid attention in the maths tech and sciencey lessons at school

Yep, that's what allows me to close up the gap in one of the last pics.
The bonnet actually shuts properly now, there's just no clearance.

Keep it standard looking tailpipes but bigger bore exhaust etc, mine with 576bhp looks standard lol.

It's quite amusing against other cars.

I quite like the current tips
I love sleepers! It'd be nice to see what bits it takes to push an S up to that kind of power, are you going to any shows or meets next year?
