Stix44 Mate I forgot to tell you! Yesterday a bloke who was walking his dog came over and asked what the crack with the bonnet was because he had "seen 2 others that were the same, 1 silver and 1 darker silver/grey"
So I explained the whole thing, you know...'cos I like explaining stuff. Lol
Hahaha bonnet lifters making us famous! Local celebs!
Hahaha
Famous now like.

So today I've been pretty lazy and done hardly anything except from fiddle with my rear wheel stance and bit some parts from option autohouse.
Pics to show differences below. Please note, you have to squint pretty hard to see the difference between the no spacer and 5mm spacer...
Current stance - no spacer:

5mm spacer in:

10mm spacer in:

The problem with the 10mm (although that's the one I prefer) it's too big and I get half a turn on my wheel nuts :/ so couldn't run them today. Just ordered hubcentric spacers to go on so I can run them.
Also car goes to a guy called Garry the ****, tomorrow for the rear arches to be rolled properly, not with a hammer like I didn't, to allow for better fitment and to reduce the rubbing with the 10mm in.
I've decided for the time being I'm keeping it at it's current height as its a daily driver and going much lower will start to make it impractible, especially where I live. But for shows etc it will be down!
Also bought a nice little jap plate for a finishing touch up front for when I'm at shows or just parking hard haha!

Also going a bit more vip at the back with the rear plate, that should happen tomorrow! So pics then!
Cheers

Yeah I'm using the 5mm for now mate
im waiting for my hubcentrics to come and they have a longer thread on them so I get more turns on the 10mm lol!

very nice stance you got there! 5 mm is flush but the 10mm spacer is just that tiny bit which gives that finishing touch
looking good!

So I've just dropped the car off at GBR to get my arches rolled to allow me to space the rears out!!
