Looking very nice indeed Dan! Where did you get the front bumper from? Do you have an FMIC and if so are you going to have to alter the bumper to fit?

 

Thanks mate.

The front bumper is the C-West bumper cant remember where I brought it from but if you google it, you will find it.

I don't have a FMIC just yet, the is the first thing I am buying after my wheels and coilover have been brought. However to fit it the front bumper will have to be adjusted like most front bumpers do.

I am doing a lot of changes to the bumper anyway as I am making my own splitter and I am getting rid of the fog lights to use those sections as cool air feeds. One will be for the air in take and the other will be for the oil cooler (Im hoping to get some longer hoses to i can fit it on the N/S of the car)

 

Small update, Ordered my new wheels yesterday from mags.

Went for Rota grids 18x9.5" in matte black, cant wait get them fitted.

 

Had a little delivery yesterday, Can't wait get these fitted.





Many thanks to mags,

 

I'm really looking forward to seeing those wheels under the new arches Dan!!!!
I'm interested to know much arch are you cutting away on the front and rear to bring the wheels out. Is it 1", maybe 2" ?

 

We will soon find out in a few days mate, I shall have my camera at the ready.
Really cant wait, just ant the arches and wheels on now ha ha.

HT04 - Thanks mate, i actually nearly cried when I got the grinder out. Had to pass it to my mate Iain who help me build it as I couldn't do it ha ha.

 

Well here you go peeps, hope you like. There is more to come yet.











I have fitted the coilovers now and she is very low, maybe too low little see how she drives over the next few days. I will get some pics later today, Its was to dark last night and I was rushing this morning. Also had a few more goodies arrive. The eagle eyed on here will notice the window strips are missing but the are ready to go back on now.

Dan

 

Looks ace! Nothing wrong with a bit of low ;]

 

Thanks buddy, I guess for how I drive her and how often I drive her the low wont be to bad. Does look cool as **** though.

 

My splitter used to touch the floor and my decat pipe is about 2cm from the floor and I daily mine, you just learn to adapt your driving, sure you'll be fine :]

 

Ha ha well mine isn't quite that low so I will see how she goes. Iv always avoided pot holes and slowed right down for speed bumps so I reckon Il be ok.
