Big Issue changed brake pads the day before and i noticed 2 big deep wall cuts on inner tyres where the suspension struts were digging into tyre. The suspension had only been on a week and it quite bad so i needed it fixed urgently rather than have a tyre blow out. ( sorry no pics of tyre)

** also copper slipped stuts etc whilst doing the work **



Quick trip to local performance centre (Evo) the next morning for 5mm shim spacers! The only ones in stock so i took them as £14.99 wasnt to bad for x 2 and im glad to say they worked.



Refit Exhaust System as it sat about 2.5 inches below rear valence and it looked crap tbh. looks 10 times better now.



Swapped front wheels ( ones with cuts in tyre wall ) to rear of the car and moved rears to front in which now the only kerbed alloy is on the front grrrrrrrr ( as pictured )





Last 3 pics are first time ive cleaned the car for weeks, still havent polished the car since i purchased it in feb 06 but the paint work is in amazing condition for an 8 year old car i think i should look after it a tad more.

Ps suspension is sitting slightly high due to car being jacked up for most of the day.

4 pots are now going on after Christmas.
