Have you Had it notched that should get you lower man? its looking good so far though, :happy2: its looking really Clean too! did you do the chrome strip on your front grill yourself? i'm looking to colour the red strip, and wanted to go for chrome i didn't know if people wrap them or spray it, or even if you can buy a chrome strip?

I dont think its even going down low enough for a notch! its not a chrome strip, i just got that painted the same color as the car (grey) when got the few bits sprayed! Looks good though

My guess would be that it's your tyres stopping you from going lower, a smaller profile would probably sort it.

Yeah ! maybe, im going to take out my arch linings next week and see if it helps.. if it does then ill cut them!

Need to trim your arch liners (or heat them up like mental with a heat gun and then air the car out and leave it for a little while...and have a chassis notch on the drivers side.
I could lay frame with 225/40 tyres on Monza 2s, also depends what bags you have as yours are clearly not the air lift slam series.


Good progress.

Going to mess around tomorrow or sunday with smaller spacers and take out arch linings to see if they make a difference! Got my boot build done this evening so will get few pictures !

Came home today to find this box waiting for me :D .. R32 tail lights and R32 Rear badge... managed to get both these for 100€ (85£) which is a steal! Was an R32 been broke :smiley: He actually only sent me the boot badge, not the whole boot popper part which i needed so hes going to send me on that now. The tailights are a massive improvement! only thing I can fault them on is that the left one has a lot of overspray on them, So going to give it a clay and see how it comes out, if any one has any other ways to get it of ill give it a go :happy2: Other than that I cant see where I could go wrong with 100€ as I seen the tails going for 150£ here!





Left is normal tail lights, Right is R32  :smiley:


Over spray on left light :confused:

This is looking really lovely! I have a Storm Grey 5 door as well and I was skeptical how good it could look due to having in my opinion, "too many doors"  :grin:

Good job!

My previous car was a little 3 door Up... And I loved it to pieces.

Onwards and upwards they say! I just wish I'd bought a 3 door  :confused:

Not a big update  :smiley: Finally got my 2 gauges sorted for the air fitted nicely in car, was originally going to put them in the drink holders but taught it would look better in the ashtray in front of the gear stick! Didn't take long to do only about 2 hours, I think it looks very nice and tidy!

Sorry about sh*tty picture!

Also got a few pictures taken from SC photography, few people might have heard of him  :smiley:














Have about 200£ left over after my bday to spend on something... Anyone any recommendations?? Not to sure what to get  :smiley: :smiley:
