Plate on yours looks better in that picture IMO.
Mmmmm might just refit it then, will have a good look tomorrow in daylight.

I agree with the masses Gibbo, regular plate looks far better.
Small plates seem to work significantly better over here but I think that's because they're deeper.

Hi there
OK guys as the plate has caused so much reaction, I put the stock plate back on, just higher up and happy with results.
A few more images of the new rear ride height.
Now its all settled, will get the alignment checked today/tomorrow. Also I forgot to mention something very important, I also did a running in oil and filter change yesterday, car had clocked 1100 miles. I used Millers 5W-20 with Ford specification and went with Millers because it also had ACEA approvals as well whereas the other Ford spec oils did not, so my thought process was the Millers went through more testing to meet more specifications. For now I am going to stick with Ford recommendation and change oil every 5000-6000 miles.
The manual states 7.6l but the filter Ford provided is actually bigger than the factory fit filter so the car actually took just shy of 8l.

Plates too big, change it back....too much yellow space
Too much compliance in the big plate.
When are you planning to respray the wheels?
We're a needy bunch
I am not, they are staying as they are, just buying new wheels instead.
Its OK, does not matter.
Agreed hence leaving them and just deciding on what wheels to get for when tyres have had it.

The ford spec is tested in ford engines and approved by ford. The other stuff is pretty irrelevant and you've gone for a pretty average thing there.
Just seemed odd after how much you were concerned with the Porsche

Ford use Millers?!
Ford state in the manual to use an oil meeting their approval, one of which is the Millers.
Ford will use an oil meeting the Ford approved specification.
I wasn't sold on these until I saw one IRL today - I felt it was just a rehash of an old classic.
The pics here don't do it justice, these things look EPIC in the flesh. Firmly sold on them now, and the noise! Wow! Not sure if it had the stock pipes but it sounded amazing!
Need a test drive ASAP!
