    long time no update.

    Swedish Winter finally has comes to an end, in a couple of weeks (early may) it is time to take the car out on the roads.

    have polished her up properly, gave her some layers of wax. cleaning the interior up, next weekend it is time for the enginebay.

    Sold my scuderia rims, car now sits on jackstands. i friend to Ronnie Renaldi will sell me his ADV1 setup to me, and i have them in a couple of weeks i Think.

    front bumper had some minor scratches underneath... was perfekt and very easy to remove it while it sits on jackstands. I took it to the local painter and got it resprayed. made some skidplates for her and wanted it to be perfect Surface under. mounted the skidplates with double sided tape.

    cleaned all the wheelhouses, behind the front bumper when i had it removed etc.. and even put wax on it. probably makes no difference but felt good.

    also got new 20" Michelin super pilot tires for my future rims.

    some Pictures

    (car is not resting on the rear brakes, it sits on the linkage)

    What did you make the skid plates out of? I am thinking of doing the same

    Just seeing this thread, Freddan. Very cool.

    By the way, I'm a former professional cyclist (Six Days, UCI World Cup track, National Road Race Champion, etc., blah blah blah). Nice to see another retired cyclist here.

    Are the rears 325's? That is what I installed on mine but had to use a 5mm spacer to clear the caliper as they are larger with the CCM's.

    did they hit the caliper? maybe your rims are for steel brakes (?)

    They were intended for non carbon but were very close to fitting, the fronts cleared fine and the rears needed about about 2mm. I went with 5mm which looks great as it pushed the wheels out a bit further. Ryft is an upcoming wheel mnfr, very cool designs and high quality 3 -piece. On par with the ADV's and others. Check them out RYFT DESIGN | Wheels

    Your rims look really nice, fits your car perfect! like when you push the rims out closer to the fenders.
