Looks good. :thumbs:

Appears that you may experience some rear rubbing...double check it with some heavyweights in the back seats.

So to answer some of the above.....it rubs ever so slightly with a load in the car. Going to have to take a wheel off to see exactly where its catching, cause its not really visible on the rear tyres thankfully. Hoping that a slight camber adjustment will solve the issue. 1 up in the car and over speed bumps, etc. no rubbing. Just having some BMW badges made up for the wheel centres to finish it off nicely. Certainly transforms the look of the car. Next on the list, piano black roof..........

Negative camber means inner tyre wear, so be careful :thumb:

You must also remember that you camber shifts during hard cornering, so don't just test for rubbing over straight lines.
