    I had the same problem with the Fensport camera. I also found that the relay on the wiring loom in the boot got warm, indicating that it was engaged all the time. Ultimately I just disconnected it and use my reversing sensors.

    As main goal from me when fitting camera, was to ease parallel parking in very tight spaces without having to leave the car to check distances, even while fensport's kit isn't pointed well to see far back, it does it's job showing from above edge of bumper and distance to bumper of car next in row (or other objects), letting me go "till last cm", so i don't care much about not the right angle.
    After all, when while driving in reverse i want to see further back, i can use rear view mirror / sidemirrors, or turn head back with hand on passenger seat headest. Camera for me is just to ease judging distance when parking, given very bad rearwards visibility and hard to precisely gauge distance (compared to other cars i drove in past).

    I had the exact same issue with mine. Nothing I could do.
    It was pointing half at the ground and half at the bumper. It gets the job done but not ideal

    Fun DIY job (maybe not fun) wrapping the centre dash and Gague hood in alacantara. Saved a good amount of £££’s and looks so much better than the cheap plastic

    That makes it easier, atleast I don't have to buy all new wheels and can just stick with the 215's for now

    Yes, Flex A's as Mike said will allow easy camber adjustment on the front, but you'll still need offset bushes or adjustable lower arms for the rear to set the camber right. 
    I really wouldn't recommend a wider tyre on the rear unless you love understeer. It won't do the handling balance any good. A square setup is better, i.e., same sizes all round. You really want an offset of 35-38 on an 8" rim. 225's are okay. I tried these on my 17x8 wheels. The trouble is you get more sidewall flex, so I went back to 215/45/17's as it felt much tighter. Up to you of course.

    £188.96 which seems pretty fair to me. About an hours labour rate at £80-100 I'm guessing. Thanks @Lauren , you probably saved me a bit there!

    Brilliant thanks, I hope so, got too many things I want to upgrade in the coming months  I've let him know it should be a 15-30 minute job and they don't have to move the engine. He said that's what he was told and he was going to check it out for me first

    I say new, I’ve had it almost a year now but love it just as much as the day I picked it up! 
    Only recently started to change things. Got the smoked valentis and spent the weekend plastidipping the wheels and front lip (so much fun!) . Looking at getting the windows tinted & roof wrapped shortly. Got some alcantara on order to wrap the dash.
    And hopefully get the TD NA kit and Resonated exhaust before the end of the year.
    Any other mods (fairly cheap) you guys would recommend? 
    Cheers!

    No, just the MTech springs.  Overall, it's an improvement I'd say.
