Actually doesn't look to bad in person but as I said it's to high for my liking. Haven't got the time yet to lower but hopefully get to it at some time during the week ..

Thanks to the rest of the lads for the comments

You have plenty of space to drop there by the looks of things...get the arch sitting just above the rim IMO.

Going down to 40 profiles is on my list over the winter.

Really easy mate, jack it up, support the rear on axle stands and then just twist the platform adjuster, i've managed to do mine without removing the wheel.

Slight update.. After getting the car I've had a limited amount of time to clean it so I got a good friend of mine who has his own detailing company to do it for me. Had a major detailing session done on the car this eveing, extremely happy with the turn out

Anyways continuing on from an annoying distraction (no elbows pointing) the Nova past it's MOT this afternoon.. Thankfully the MOT guy had a glance through the window to see that all seatbelt stalks where in place ..

Nothing much happened afterwords but give it a wash as weather was pretty poor and put her back into hibernation awaiting for good weather (doesn't look like that will be happening anytime soon)

That is beautiful

I'm a little fussy and would change the number plates for something less "busy". It looks absolutely stunning though.

"Less busy" what's your thoughts?

I had a bit of a debate/argument with a chap on another forum about my number plates.. He was telling me to put metro ones on but that not my seen. I think that type of plate only suit modern day cars etc.

Ps thanks for the comment

Been awhile since i have updated this but the car has been going great so far.. Anyways i put it back away about two weeks ago and earlier on this evening the temptation got to me and took it for a spin and grabbed some shots. Less of the hashing on just enjoy these few pictures.. Comments welcome

Looks great

Only thing I would say is that it looks like it's nose diving a touch, possibly lower the rear a little or raise the front to even it out?

Downside of coilovers I guess, it's taken me plenty of tweaking to get mine sat how I want it
