No that's not me.... this is mine... if you ever want to lower yours at all I'm on H&R Springs and I dropped 20mm all around compared to standard springs.



If it's a Simon your thinking on would that be Fatmanscooby ? he has got a mint TypeR.... and that's a MINT in capitals !!

I had a Silver Bugeye Sport !! lol but alas still don't think it was me... I can post a pic if you want but don't want to take your thread over here !!

What wheels are you running there 18" or 19" ?
Carl Davey runs 18" x 8" I think it is now on his and has no problems with rubbing
and that's on the same springs.

I should change my user name even I get confused at times lmao

Nice and shiny, looking good

Simon with the silver sport doesn't post much on here, he mainly post's on SIDC.
I agree his sport is MINT.

Keep an eye out for mine though this year

polishing a silver car is so unrewarding IMO

i actually thought that today as i cleaned up a silver vectra, you spend all that time on it, and then you step back and try and convince yourself that its more shiney, then before

Thats very true , i find the key to making silver stand out is to make sure you black your black.............if you know what i mean.........sometimes i confuse myself
