Great reflection there
I think you may just have your front discs on the wrong way around.... The grooves should sweep out while turning not sweep in as your appear to, here's a pic for reference.

It's the vents inside the disc that are directional, not the grooves. Seen a few types of disc in the past with the grooves sweeping forwards instead of backwards, quite uncommon though to be fair.
Really nice P1 though

Ive only owned the car for 4 months. The car has no issues what so ever. After a few weeks of owning it i got the car mapped to make it safe. Also fitted a few extras to help like big brakes and a few other bits to go with the mapping. My advise is to take your time and find a nice clean example. PS sign up to P1WOC

Cheers mate. No, just UK lights due to the fog light. JDM rears have no fog light.

The standard wheel has always bugged me due to its size. Today i replaced it with an OMP wheel.
