[RDS]

If I had know that James I would of had it, I've been after one for ages. I had to pay for mine

I've got battery brackets too mate, I trial fitted it with the battery in and it fitted, tight fit though. I'll see how I get on when fitting it for real.

Sorry about that... It's frightening to think what I must have in those boxes...

Sent mate

So rds are you going to route a feed round the back of the battery

 

[RDS]

Its goin to run into the DSG pipework thats already on to try and get some more air through it. I've recently ran one the other side of the battery aswell and cut a hole in the heat shield:

Cheers, i just ordered one from that States, lets see if the velocity stack really does even out the airflow!

Not much going on at the minute, I think these are the first proper set of pictures of my motor lowered:

 

[super_electric]

awesome pictures mate!!

 

[RDS]

Just trying to find the time (and weather) to get a few things sorted. I've gone for tinting paint for the rear lights instead of Lamin-X, if it doesnt work I'll clean it off at order the film. Also got some paint for other places and got the air scoop to fit.

Edit: I'm also thinking of leaving the wheels now untill spring.

I've measured the height to see how its settled. Its still the same height as before:

front - 645mm
rear - 640mm

 

[t0m]

She looks absolutely mint in the pictures mate!

Great work with the drop and for not driving the car too close to that river haha!

Love this LCR. One of my favourites on here for sure.

Cheers t0m, means alot coming from someone with a car the standard of yours mate

I've got a few more pics but you can see the rear calipers in them just realised how much they need painted.

Thanks for the kind words Rich!

Worth painting the rear calipers mate, they made a much bigger difference than I expected them too once done. Weather is going to be against you soon for doing them so get it done soon if you plan on doing so bud.

If the paint is solid with no chips you can polish or even T cut them, they will come up a lot brighter, then in the summer you can re paint them.

Maybe worth a shot for over the winter, cheers for the heads up D.K
