Back From the Bodyshop
Car has been away at my friends bodyshop this week having the rear arches sorted.
They were very rusty, and needed alot of work.
Had the doors re-sprayed at the same time, as the front wings were only done a few months ago, so is all new paintwork now.
Sorry for the phone picture, will get some proper pictures at the weekend.
If anyone in the Surrey area needs any bodywork done i can highly recommend Auto Body Solutions

You're on BC coilovers right? How much did u lower it by over standard ride height when u had them installed? I know you are more focused on track work but how is the ride at that rideheight? ta.

I just bolted them on as they came out the box. Was going to adjust them, but am happy with how they sit. (Might raise the rear slightly though)
Seems to be ok at that height, doesn't catch on speedbumps (except very big ones)
Although i was driving infront of the car today (my brother bought it back from the bodyshop) and it does look even lower when driving.... although he is a bit of a chunk!!!

Hi, what year did they change the front grill? I have a facelift grill, but it's flush, not sticking out like yours.I like yours more!
