Absolutely gorgeous, and is going to look so much nicer after your lowering and new arches. I love it.

Today i've fitted only one one side at the front: Adjustable negative camber bottom arms with polly bushes, new balljoints top and bottom, new longer type track rod end. Already had the adjustable tie rods on also with poly bushes
For the rear yesterday i fitted adjustable camber and tracking brackets which fitted a treat. Just got the NSF to do tomorrow and then it's all ready to be setup. Heres a pic or two.

Managed to get my thread extension machined down to accept 3/4" unf oil filter (was 13/16" unf) by Rob Walker! What a top bloke!
Now I can finally crack on and get my oil cooler finished :thumbsup:

Taken the leaky radiator off, put the fusebox on the inside of the car. Now trying to work out why only the drivers side hazard lights are working and my indicators don't flash!! Mini wiring makes me cry inside.

Really good job on the wheels post above. What did you use? My starmags could do with some loving like that!!
