Okay - thanks.. I'm presuming that they're 10s, yeah?
EDIT: They look much more like V3/V4s to me. Only difference between the V3 and V4s is that the V4s are have a convex plane.

Basically there has been some little niggles with the car that just create bigger issues. Starting is not an issue now, new plugs went in and it seemed to cure the problem.
The car had a rolling road session for a final tweek a few weeks ago and the power figure didnt reflect the engines true power. It was only 107bhp at the wheels. The car is 100% more powerful than the quoted figure. On a twin roller rolling road setup and small 10 inch wheels the car bites into the rollers when the torque increases, therefore altering the rolling radius of the wheels. Effectively its like having variable gearing. So after 6000rpm the dyno graph said the engine wasnt making anymore power but on the road itll pull right up to 7500rpm +.
The only way to see if this theory is right is to take it somehwere with a single roller setup. So its going to Northampton Motorsport. This is where most of my mates cars have been and have had very good service.
Other than that the car is running fine. Apart from the clutch.
Ordered some more bits and bobs and im going to keep plodding on with it.
