I keep looking at these...  m http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.vi ... 67&alt=web m
They would look massive on the 2,   s:D :D s:D

The colour looks better in the flesh. It's weird,  impossible to photograph. Makes panels look different colours but in the flesh they look the same, strange...
Although because of the different angle that the bonnet is against the front bumper, under some lights it does look different. But wherever I stand I can't seem to get a good photo.   s:roll: :roll: s:roll:

 s:( :( s:(  I had planned to go but my missus has changed her plans, she is going away for a couple of weeks the week after.
And she is pestering to visit a friend with me the same day as dong day, she has been asking for months so I'm struggling a bit to put it off again.

Ok a photo shoot comparing suspension.
(A 5 photo evolution of my car for anyone that can't be bothered to read the thread   s:wink: :wink: s:wink:  )
Stock suspension, stock wheels



Tein springs, stock wheels


Tein springs, 17" wheels


Tein springs, 17" wheels, gt300 kit with stupid high cut arches


Bc coilovers, 17" wheels, gt300 kit with stupid high cut arches, sat on the deck gangsta style!

I reckon I can get the front lower,
Yes the car is really dirty, I don't know what it is about down south, but it rains dirt, sometimes I miss the North

I think you need 18". That's the only way I see it properly fitting together

Looks a lot better but 18/19" wheels are needed to fill those huge arches
Another one won't hurt  .....

I'm not sure about wheel choice, personally I'd keep them full bronze minus the blue, and have super wide, high profile tyres.

Fitted some shorter springs to the front today.

Got the ride height I wanted, and a lovely comfortable ride to match. More or less the same ride as standard shocks with tein springs but more responsive.

Bad angle photo but the tyres are just level with the arches.



Edit... I've just noticed, I washed the car and forgot to clean the sideskirts! Doh..  s:roll: :roll: s:roll:    s:oops: :oops: s:oops:

Good result Lee.
I'll pop down sometime and see it in the metal. Or plastic. Whatever.
First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a socialist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.

Your welcome, I might see about nipping over your way in a few weeks, meet up with you and Andy.  I know he thinks he lives in Kent but he's just round the corner from you.

By then I may have a tn16 postcode and 01959 area code.
That's Kent.

Arch gap looks spot on chap.  :-) :-) :-)

Erm yeah, the new springs have settled a bit. The splitter is giving ants haircuts.   s:oops: :oops: s:oops:  

I need to take it back up 10mm. I forgot that the car will drop a bit under its own weight now the springs aren't preloaded

Out and about today....

I know the roof is up. That's because I'd just locked it up to go for a walk.



Not got around to lifting the front up yet so still cleaning the road as I drive!
