- What is that shiny plate meant for in your exhaust manifold? I would also make the is it headers so that they dont penetrude so much out of the frontal area. Also if you make it closer to rear wheels you will get more grip.
- Do the series dictate that the rear wing has to be so high? If not lower the "brakects". Also I would close the gaps between those brakets on the spoiler if it is allowed.
- Can you adjust that front spoiler? It looks like its made from aluminium?, because there is so much rivets...
- Looks like your front brakes are regular steel brakes?
- Looks like you havent milled bolt heads shorter?
- What are those black hoses which go to your cam covers? Anyway you could mill some material off from that big blue anodized aluminium "bolt" Its over 80mm long?
- In my opinion your braided steel hoses could be shortened at least 10% by the look of you pictures.

Those are my suggestions.
