Thanks for all the nice comments. Someone drove past me today and shouted 'nice car!' through my window, hehe .
Just gave the car some stick, I didn't go toooo mad, but any corner I put it through it just laughed at, didn't flinch, felt solid. I'm even quite impressed with the Nankang's... no seriously, I don't think they're as bad as people make out. I'm still expecting them to be useless in the wet though.
Really need to get the alignment done though, I've got about 10 degrees negative camber on the front passenger wheel, it does look really cool though TBH  . Not sure I'm up for replacing the tyres every month mind! The other side doesn't have crazy camber and it catches when cornering hard, cambered side doesn't.
Bought some 5mm spacers for the rear wheels today aswell. Just need to work out how I'm going to jack the car up now!

Thanks John. Just tried to fit my 5mm spacers, but I think I need longer bolts, seemed quite dodgy to me, bolts didn't go in enough turns!

Yeah you might do Ross, especially if it doesn't feel right. Some bolts are good for it, others aren't. Don't risk it!
EDIT: You just spacing out the rears? Or fronts as well?

Just the rears mate, they sit inside the arch a touch too much, should look good another 5mm out and have similar amounts of poke to the front wheels.
Thanks to all that have commented
