Dropped off the Mini’s old exhaust and my friends SC300 exhaust at the junkyard in his truck

Also got these for the Mini, any guesses as to what they are?

Looks a lot like camber plates, but I don’t see any adjustment.

Thought so, I sorta remember reading strut tower deformation was a problem in R53 and maybe some R56  especially when driven properly (vigorously). So far mine seems OK

I’ve got ‘em on my R55 [ just plates that are sandwiched  between the strut top mount and the strut tower and were pretty cheap] as what felt to be a reasonable ‘peace of mind’ purchase.
