    What is your definition of limited?

    I've owned watches that cost far more and made in “limited” numbers exceeding 120 by x4.. they all seemed very limited to the watch community

    Really? The rep I was referred to told me 20. Maybe it was typo or maybe he was speaking about the twin intake bumper. Thanks for clearing that up.

    Get the deal from Vorsteiner directly if you want their parts which I know you don't.

    They are limiting the production of the parts so it's pointless for me to try and do a GB with that quantity available and with that little of quantity the discount was so less I just didn't take the conversation forward or to anyone higher up at Vorst.

    Ah ok, you'll chat to them about what exactly? About GBing if it meets your hype expectations?


    We ended up chatting over the phone about how small this market is.​

    No, they are now the same. We're still not at M3 V8 offsets of fenders.

    Are Vorsteiner group buys happening btw?​

    I can see what wheels it has on and the camera lens angle etc. My question remains, is the front of the car Now wider than the Rear Fender edges?

    In this pic the front fenders look like they are poking out and the car is appearing wider in the front compared to the rear? Can you confirm if the front is now wider than the rear?

    Continued work on test fitment as the prototype forged CSL style wheels are incoming!

    I fiddled with height, a bit more, both sides now have the same camber and height settings. Driver side is 30mm, Passenger side is 20mm. It's much more aligned with my final planned specs.

    I'm working on a slew of entries on the carbon doors, subframe reinforcement, CSL trunk fitment, and more.

    For as much as you think my mere existence is responsible for your bullshit passive-aggressive-bitch-ass attitude, I unfortunately don't have the power to move threads. I also don't think this would solve anything.

    I agree! I was exploring the most aggressive fitments to document for those that care little about aesthetics and want to maximize tires under the fender. The forged set that's incoming is less aggressive, and will run slightly smaller overall diameter

    I won't even pretend - please stay out of my build thread if you'll contribute nothing but your usual negative nagging.
