I've just seen this posted and noticed the 2 centre covers top and bottom are not carbon like mine has, is this an extra or something ?

The Plus model came with the rings and V10 cover in carbon - come up on eBay sometimes.

Ow bonus then, mine has got them so must be a plus then

Carbon covers were an extra mate, fitted when the car was de restricted from factory..
£1100 option

Standard on a plus though?

Plague in cabin near gear selector will show if a plus

Jules aint a plus though, but Im sure it'll be far superior to a Plus once hes finished with it

Highly possible

One thing to note, there's currently no "off the shelf" adjustable camber arms for the C6 so you may have to make some custom ones. I know a few people who have used the KW lowering springs and were getting tyre wear issues because of that.

If you find anywhere to get/make a set just let people know on here!

I had this exact issue with my MTM springs had very bad wear on inner section of front tires.

Good to know thanks Ian.
Yes I'm desperate to get the car lower and start trying on some of the wheels I have so I can see what is and isn't possible.
I hear the c6 is harder re fitment and space than the c7.
I have some 20 by 10s I can try and I also have some 21x10.5s on route but I think I will have to stretch them tyres a little more than I would like
due to space we have and I'm assuming front brake clearance especially with the ceramics will be an issue especially with concave.
The problem I have is I go to Austria in less than 4 weeks and have only had the car in my possession for 2 days, and its now at the wrappers
for the black optics, then has to go to the next place to make it low then back to mrc for the exhaust so I am starting to panic a little

So you are putting the inner tyre wear down to the fact it was just lowered a little ?
This is usually the case but only a bit worse than normal

the wear was due to the lowering and spacing out of the tire - but because I had no adjustability from the arms I couldn't counter the wear issue.
