That made for a nice read mate. Arch gap does look big with the wheels, get some springs sorted  :happy2:

Looks a tidy car and low mileage, shame about the lorry, as least you saw it and got it sorted, someone caught my back end and just drove up a couple months ago  :fighting:

Thanks dude. I'm on the hunt for some lows, I just haven't decided if I want to go down the spring/shock route or go for coilovers yet.

Yes I was lucky I saw it happen as who knows what would have happened. It sucks when people just drive off. In fact just the other day someone has left a car park dent in my drivers door. Its not too bad and will only cost me about £30 to sort but its still very annoying.

You need coilovers to get it looking really good!

So today I had a delivery, got my hands on a set of JOM blue line coilovers at a very good price. I want to save for a better set but these will do for the time being.

on the little C bracket right at the bottom cut the top part off it will allow them to go lower.
Also, I suspect ou'll have trouble with going low with your tyre sizes especially on the front.

Thanks for the tips. I read somewhere about trimming the lower locating tab but I didn't know the reason was to get more lows.

I don't want to slam it, not yet anyway, just reduce the horrid arch gap a bit so hopefully my 225's up front and 235's on the rear will be ok. If not I'll put my 225's on the back and get some 215's for the front.
