reliability is the key .
if you know you have something that won't break and leave you stranded you will enjoy it more.

i might know someone with a minnow for sale , unless they have bothered to advertise it .
used to keep mine on my minnow in the garage in the winter.
As for support vehicle i used to drive to track days all over the country until i became soft and started trailering.
I drove to Barcelona , did...
lots of people use the round lights but its a classic shaped car so my feeling is keep it.
The great thing about kits is we own them because of how personal they are and thats a good thing
top work on the transformation

like that , great work and that nosecone wrap can't have been easy.
really nice transformation , though i still prefer traditional square rear lights

i think you can get engine mounts that will drop that enough to get all but the filter under the bonnet just . I am sure i got shorter more solid rubber mount sections to drop on to drop mine , it was a tight fit .
Cheers mate
Unfortunately I think the tonneau cover will be going back in as there isn't really another solution for covering the boot compartment. Not a simple one anyway.
Do you need boot access ? I didn't find the space that useful so I covered it with a sheet of honeycomb carbon...
Very common roll bar use as a forward support is used to give protection from the bar folding .
Usually on sprint cars where the passenger seat is rarely used but you can sit in it.
Full cages which is now the desired way negates their use.
And agree on terrible interiors .... hate them...
I have a decent one man bleed unit , 7 type cars are notorious for being a pain to bleed
2 choices , rubber tube , jam jar and a mate to pump the pedal.
Or invest in a decent one man bleed system...

I will admit to having variants with the exhaust on the passenger (zetec x-flow) and on the drivers (k-series) side

Never in all my years have I ever had anyone touch an exhaust with their hand and burn themselves
Legs however when wearing shorts or skirts loads of times

That model 2012 colour options were
"Mercedes plans to offer six color options (silver, red, black, matte black, matte gray, matte white)."
For the c63 black series coupe
And reading reviews from car articles lots of the jurno cars were matt black

It was matt black
I suspect its paint not wrap
Mileage seem right only seems to only do 3k a year , no doubt a wifes runabout judging by the woman driving

Brian builds some great diffs and boxes ,had a hand in the design of the first 6speed type 9 for caterham
Never had one break he built

Since driving my mates 300bhp duratec caterham built by raceco i have to say get some wide rear arches.
Seriously though get someone to look at your diff housing and see if it needs any more bracing.
The common issue with that sort of power on westies is the diff cage.
They tear the welds...
Only thing i could think may affect it on both acceleration and braking would be a loose top mount causing a caster or camber change.
Would be rare as i would expect a significant knock

Needs fully flat floor and geo first ... no guessing
Then see where it is but i still recon a wishbone is moving , no other way really to happen unless the rack is goosed

Listening to that Steve its even more likely to be a bush as loaded in that way will give them a tough time.
Shame they cant be rose jointed , but id at least run solid nylon if possible

Wishbone bushes worn
99% sure that will solve your issue and its usually the inner 2 where it attaches to the subframe.
Which side i couldnt say but detaching the hub and moving will show it very quickly

From memory of running 195/50 o48's i think the optimum is 6 to 7.5
Never run them on a clio so someone else needs to comment on wheel offsets and widths
