Looks sweet mate. Sitting really nice!

Thanks Chris :) Just need to put the front down about 10mm...paranoid about having reverse rake lol. Only thing is though, the splitter will be pretty much scraping haha :\

How did you find driving that low on the rear? Have you raised it up now bet you were constantly smashing arch?

Yeah it was absolutely ridiculous and that was after raising it lol. I've raised in again tonight but i've noticed a bit of rust which is hugely depressing. Gonna need to stick a bit of camber of it and spray it :'(

Some f*cking bellend left a hefty chunk of metal lying in the middle of the road:

Snapped one of the plastic bumper mounts:

Took a chunk out the underside and sent stress marks along it:

A couple small updates.

Decided to go balls deep into the world of camber and stick on 1.4 degrees of camber so it's now sitting at -2.8. Has massively reduced the scrubbing issues :D

Quite happy with how it sits now:

Tried out some new products too. This was after a quick snow foam using carpro ph neutral snow foam, detarred with autosmart tardis (mainly to remove all the old product - AG HD wax), another foam and then a wash with chemical guys glossworkz. The new product I was trying was auto finesse tough coat pain sealant and it gave an uber shine:

And finally...how cool is this?!?!

Shiney shiney!

Aren't you going to destory those rear tyres though?

Cheers mate means a lot!

Emm tbh man I don't think it's too bad. I've been running a couple degrees up front for about 10,000 miles now and there's no uneven wear (I've used a tyre depth gauge and it's pretty uniform). It's mostly toe that demolished them :)

Sits so nice mate! Also loving the detailing photos :)

Thanks :) The only other thing I'm wanting to do is space the fronts out by 10/15mm to give it a bit of poke. I tried the 20's I've got on the back and it was way too much haha! I've got some 30's kicking about if I want to go balls to the walls
