I've got a rather childish plate ready for when my Atom 4 comes along:


Definitely going to be a marmite plate with the questionable spacing but I love it

Spec looks great Peter! Was there anything that your current car does/doesn't have that you had to have on the list for the new car? This will be my first Atom so I'm slowly trying to figure out what are the golden items to spec. In the end it comes down to personal choice, budget, experience level...

Spec looks good!

At the moment I'm going to hold fire and see what the consensus is. Should be relatively easy to fit ...

Corky, I’m not too dissimilar: LSD Full windscreen (what are people’s thoughts who have these, worth it?) Baffled sump (will be doing 5/6 track days) Be careful. Someone like REIS will either insure your car with the windscreen OR provide 6 trackdays of insurance. But not both. Sure you can find ot...
