I've got Hotbits coilovers wound down pretty much all the way on the fronts, and nearly all the way on the rears and have no clearance issues and only very light scraping when at full speed on a road with opposite camber. I did have them fitted before my coilovers went on, on standard shocks and Prodrive lowering springs, and had no issues then but it looked a little high... But yeah, they do fit, as long as the offset etc is correct.

Nice looking car mate.

Regards to the Grid's how do you find the 225's handle, I'm always a little worried that as the alloy sticks out under hard fast cornering the tyre would roll and scrap the wheel?

Never had any issues with tyres giving way, they are slightly stretched but I have run much worse that this set up on previous cars. But yes, to answer your question I wouldn't worry lol.

That looks seriously nice! I'm not usually a fan of dark wheels but they really suit your car and it sits perfectly on them.

Have you had any issues with the smaller front plate? I was thinking about one of those for mine but didn't want to open a can of law enforcement worms.

I'll be honest I'm not a fan of dark wheels but the hyperblack finish looks awesome as its black on top of silver but the silver shines through the black! Awesome in sunlight!

So far (touch wood) the front plates been okay.
Got them from fancyplates online.

Been trying to decide what alloys to purchase to compliment the car but just seems there is too much choice after seeing these my mind is made up.

Great looking car, spot on!
