Heads up WARNING: You're going to melt your rear bumper:

Image

If you can, try and get more space between your exhaust pipe and rear bumper. A lot of guys with 3" Corksport exhausts on their MSMs have burned their rear bumpers and they have more clearance than your photo shows.

Also, how much attention have you got so far from the boys in blue? Those wheels are going to attract a lot of attention and I can't see them being legal without adding flare guards :(

its ok.. exhaust will be fine. No attention so far lol. Expecting some but meh.

UPDATE:
So i got new front fenders as the wheels didnt fit the old ones.. Put them on, put the sideskirts on and then gave the car a detail.

Getting the front guards flared now, wheel alignment tomorrow as well as lower and put the wheels on then its all good :D

I must say, with the combination of the GV Lip, Skirting, Diffuser and Wheels, you have made an awesome looking car! Great Job Charlie.

Just curious - are the wheels included in the engineer's certificate?

Those skirts work really well with the vary lip, looks great.
If you had access to a car like this, would you take it back right away? Neither would I.

So you went to all the effort of engineering and didnt include the wheels. If you hit and kill someone, at fault, imagine if insurance didnt cover it over your illegal wheels.
