yeah the rear needs to come down more imo, but when you bring it down give it a chance to settle first, good project tho front looks good!

maybe take a little off but dont take more off until you know how much will need to be cut.

could you not put standard 49 offset vauxhall alloys on there for a few hundred miles for the suspension to settle? would be far easier.

UPDATE!!!

I am on holiday at the moment in Canada, the land of the SUV. My girlfriend who i am staying with owns an Escalade which is the most comfortable car in the world. When you are cruising in it you feel like you are big pimping all the time. Another mate has a Yukon Denhali (another SUV) which he let me drive )

Anyway before i left i sent my car into the bodyshop. My car before i left was a complete mess. It was 50% primer and half of it was falling apart.

I was getting done:

Badboy
Semi Smooth (already done myself but needed touching up)
Door handles smoothed (i welded the plates in just needed smoothing)
Smooth bumpers (same deal as the semi smooth)
and everything painted Flame Red

I am still in canada but here are some pictures that where sent to me through email by the bodyshop.





I will get pics of everything completed when i get back and see it for myself.

Im mega excited.

Give me your opinions.

Joe

Nice work mate.

I'm currently trying to install RCL. How did you get the wiring from the D/S to the P/S? Behind the centre console and that? I can't see a way through.

FINISHED

Im so glad this day has finally come to see the car in all its glory painted and looking beautiful.

The bodyshop did an amazing job on the badboy and smoothing the door handles off.

Here he is:











I should be picking up a pair of Cav GSI slab rims this week and then i will spray them black, get the suspension back on so its slammed 60 again and then concentrate on the interior.

looks nice, but is it me or can you see where they have smoothed the rear bumper into the arch?


i would be wary of that cracking, as they have not smoothed it properly all the way underneathe where the light is if you get me.
will look nice with the new wheels fitted.
