Yep, shoulder and back/neck is giving me sh1t right now mate.

Once they settle I might bring it up a little. I'll see what its like once it settles.

Every time I wash my car it rains either same day or day after, even in the summer :cry:

Thanks Mike :)

Its low enough for me, if anything I might bring it up a little once everything settles down.

I'll tell you what, if you got the side strips colour coded that would finish it off beautifully!

I think you are right, Will but I dont think I will get round to doing them :shrug:

Ah that's a shame, I'm lucky I managed to find one that comes to your place and does it for you, any hassle is gone as well as the money in my pocket :D

Could you post up a pic of the front of the car, just want to see what it's like :D

Looking good! Makes such a difference to the look of the car.

My FK Konigsports are hopefully on their way, so I can finally join the coilover club!

Are the Topmount bearings the ones that cost £8 each? Have you got a part number for them? Also are they the only bits that should be replaced when fitting coilovers?

Cheers

Yea, thats the ones, £8 each from SERE Motores. I would also replace the topmount (£10 each) and topmount bolts (50p each). Sorry I donnt have any part numbers mate.

Hi mate. I have only had my wheels done once and that is the colour they are now. It was a local company that done them and unfortunitly they have gon under now :(.
As for the colour, I just pointed to some wheels they already had and said I want them that colour :D but to be honest mate, there is loads of different shades of anthrecite and its just a matter of picking the shade you like.

Hope this helps mate :)


I'm also booked in for a wheel alignment next week now :D

Truly great pictures! :worship:

Ride height looks bang on, so you'll need to raise it a tad when it drops........

Good job!

Thanks Dave :)

ps. I've sent Mat those pics for the SCN calendar ;)
