It does look good

Great pics, space those rears now!

Don't want to sound like a weirdo so bare with me....

1 year ago when I needed to change cars and decided on the LCR I joined here and was all set on a red one as my GTA was silver. Then your thread got read and changed my mind as I knew I needed silver again.

I have become addicted to skinning due to this thread and I never thought I would lower the LCR but now I know I have to as yours looks great sitting there.

As I said didn't want to sound like I'm bumming the car mate but it's spot on

I'll take credit for the pics ha ha...

I believe I'm the 1st person to be taken out in the car post-lowering..

Cheers for popping by earlier mate... Here are the pics I got on the iphone. Shame we had no SLR to hand, but it looks the nuts.

It felt great for the 1st day after having them fitted. Very sure footed and minimal roll. Once they settle it's going to be sweet.

It was good to get your feed back on the ride comfort Tom.
Pictures came out pretty well too

Thanks Tyrer I remember you saying about wanting a red one, I orginally wanted a Black one but I'm so glad I got Silver now

The Carbon Skining is addictive, just stay with in your limitation's I made the mistake of doing something to complicated to early and wasted loads of Carbon

Finally Darren, looks great . In regards to the rear, I had the same issue and raised it around 10mm at the back which resulted in a better looking stance and a better balanced ride. I HATE C-Spanners and so will you after you've done this so I wish you luck and keep calm .

No probs mate.. Cheers for popping by and the drive. Nice to see other LCR's upclose from time to time.

Do you know what height yours is sitting at ?

 

[D.K]

WoooHoooo It fit's

Before.

After.

I have used some thick card to extend the cover out to meet the wing, it was then coated in resin and left to harden and then another coat of resin and a layer of Carbon Fibre.

I then had to trim a bit off the underside so it would clear the Carbon canistor.

The next stage will be to sand the whole cover, the weave on the cloth is very rough, this will also show up where the low spot's are, these will then be filled with P38 filler, then another rub down and then it will be wraped in the same carbon cloth as the rest of the engine cover's.

Looks awesome
You should set up your own carboning company

 

[aaronipswich]

You gona keep the forge engine cover or make your own
The weave looks goldish compared to yours

Impressive stuff, cant wait to see it all finished. That engine bay is a credit to you, as is the rest of car.

No mate the Forge cover will be staying, I think the reason it's gone yellow is cos you need to use special resins on parts that come into contact with higher temperature's, I might have a word with Forge and see what they say.

Thanks James I think after this bit I need to stop or risk going over the top

Yeah i know what you mean, it's a fine balance. You have pretty much every must have mod on your car.

Once it's as you want it all you need to do is maintain and enjoy it.

Always put's a smile on my face everytime I read your thread! Car sitting really nice D.K.

 

[JamJay]

Do you know what height yours is sitting at ?

I can measure for you. From the floor to arch or centre cap to arch?

I measured mine from the floor to the top of the arch

Really nice additions Darren. The suspension really does finish off the car superbly. The expansion cover looks as if it was made that way. Look forward to seeing it with its weave and top coat on. Great work. A true bench mark!
