My first experience of hill climbing was great fun. Harewood Hill, north of Leeds is the longest UK hill climb at 0.9miles. The day started with a walk of the hill to look at lines, camber etc. First run with an instructor also very useful. A few solo runs followed before lunch, which was had watching video footage of morning runs with pointers from instructors of good and less good driving. More instruction and solo runs in the afternoon.

With downhill and uphill sections, and technical corners, full concentration was required and getting it right was a rewarding as it was frustrating when not getting it right. I liked the rhythm of doing a run, chat with and watch other drivers, then out for another run.

If anyone is thinking about it, I would certainly recommend it.

Did a three weeks trip in Japan last summer, I can relate it might help. But honestly, 40% of the time, I was more confused than anything else :p

Excellent, I shouldn't be left alone with a car, a screwdriver and a drill, so some technological intervention will be welcome! Front splitter and side sills for this attempt, rear diffuser was out of stock. Not sure I'll fit the rear spoiler lip that's supplied.

As pathetic looking as the rubber spoiler lip seems, I think it finishes off the spoiler nicely. A slight adjustment to the profile that looks good- functional aero? Not sure

I'll give it a look once we get all the kit out of the box, but I'd heard such derrogatory reports from reading other posts I was considering using it as a draught excluder in my house!

Typical, I nosed yesterday and thought there’s no point buying yet as I’m only 8500 miles into the current Michelins, tyre sensor pinged a slight drop on the way home this morning, found a screw close to the edge on a rear tyre
Offers finished 😩
Will hang on and see if there’s another over the bank hol wknd
