he doesnt go round corners because it means he will have to brake before he hits the turn so he just avoids them.
ARB's 
Motors looking good mate, aint seen it in ages. Anthracite was definately the right way to go on the hoops! Just reading through this and was gonna say R8 oil cap but got beaten to the punch! If you want a cheaper one than those above, you can get it here:

Might be wiset to hold your horses on the this bacth of R8 oil cap folks...... I got one of these exact ones, followed this link, and when I got it the other night fitted it to my car (LCR) and went for a drive only to find it didn't seal quite right and pi$$ed oil every where.

so a cheap copy then?
Came in a genuine box but didn't seem to fit to well in it and gumpf on sticker doesnt mention R8 at all.....will have a better look over the weekend.
Hmmmmmm could be I have a duff one then. You got one from that ebay seller jonjay?
Looks like I've posted a link to a dud - uh oh.
It says in the listing that the cap has to be slighly modified to fit a 1.8T
Maybe he c*cked your one up?
Or as suggested, maybe you're just a ham fisted wally who cross threaded it
Oil is so fun and easy to clean up too, I bet you're really happy about that...

Yea I assume you got it from the same one. He may have sent you one for different engine...sounds plausible.

think I will stick with ordering a genuine one from Awesome.....for a few pennies more, I know it will fit, and will be hassle free if I need to send it back
They are genuine!
Basically there are loads of different engine types it can be used on and you need to specify when buying what engine it is for. They modify the seals differently depending on the application.
It could have happened with any supplier to be fair...

hehe yeah I'll give you that - but you see I'm Scottish and therefore eBay wins hands down since it is cheaper!
Brake's update
I picked up my new front brakes today, Nothing too special but they should be better than the worn disc's and pads that are on now.
I went for Ferodo DS2500 pads and O/E Brembo vented 323mm Disc's which I was going to get grooved but I'v decided not to.
I also got the seal for the front edge of the bonnet so hopefully the engine bay should stay a bit cleaner.
