its the arches lol. there bent out of shape and not even attached now where they meet the bumper. i suppose the cable ties holding the bumper on at the sides doesnt help much either atm but im not bolting it on untill ive got the bumper and arches sorted out.
cheers for all the comments. new pictures will be added after dinner

well heres a few pics. 1st lot was taken on sat on the way to sheri's
photos of the stripped out rear
and this one showing the battery box in the spare wheel well
and heres a few dirty photos from today after i fitted the 40's during my lunch break. loads of room in those arches now..... lower more? lol
cleaned up and painted my front discs are they were a nice shade of rust
dirty wheels wrapped in rubber bands
plenty of room in there 
the new tyres are growing on me. they make the wheels look bigger and hopefully my speedo isnt out as far now as the rolling radius is smaller, altho that means the manifold is closer to the floor also.
next thing on the cards if to give it a really good tidy up as boy does it need it!!!

will mess up the handling if you go any lower.

its all cleaned now but its far too dark to get a good photo. i even tried out my bros new wax on my shit painted bonnet. carnubra harley wax. its really good stuff! 100% natural wax, no powder so it can be used on the black plastic parts aswell.
the handling is spot on how it is atm, altho not really tested the toyos out yet but the pzeros were awesome round the twistys. driving it is always fun as you can drive it slow at the speedlimits or take it for a good trash, altho ive noticed it puffing some shite out the exhaust under hard acceleration. only notice it when at night with a car behind and there headlights pic it up. not sure if i want to get it mapped firther atm but it would be nice to see just what its capable of.

lovely have you thought about painting the metal behind the bottom of your front bumper black so you can't see it through the mesh?
