So yesterday i realized that my top mounts aren't sitting flush with the top of the body work, there's a small gap, had a look today undid everything and cant seem to get to fit against the body work. Anyone know how to solve this or is it okay like that :surprised::(

I've just read your thread from start to finish you have a car to be really proud of, I think it's one of the shiniest cars I've ever seen, well done fella.

Keep saying it but need to seriously keep updating this! Wheels soon hopefully! :clap: I've removed my HID's as the beam pattern was shocking, not sure why but I've replaced them with some Philips diamond visions and the pattern is a lot better. I have also treated the loop to something that will hopefully turn up tomorrow! May need to get something else to fit it with so ill update with a picture tomorrow :shifty: but for now heres a few pictures of it as it currently sits, oh and a few detailing ones cos everyone knows im OCD clean.

Little and Large! :)

Love the roof bars bro. I think I'd actually pay for you to clean my car! It's brilliant.

I love your wheels, I wouldn't bother changing them tbf, unless you go down the banded/bullet route :)

You can fix this, undo the struts & pull the hub towards you at the top so it's vertical then bolt it back up. Or, y'know, like, get your camber & tracking done properly, which I'm sure we all do :whistle::lol:

Did get my tracking done just recently, they said they can't do nothing about the camber as its like that just because of how low it sits, did pull it towards me when we did them up but! Don't wanna try it again incase it throws the tracking out?

Jeez, don't go there again :lol:

Yeah there is the danger of throwing the tracking out, maybe leave it a bit get your money's worth haha just keep your eye out for camber wear on the tyres.
