Random comment but I read somewhere the bolts at bottom of suspension (u can see just above brake disc) should always be facing a certain way?

Any rubbing probs with coilovers touching inside wall of your tyres?

When colour coded its a diff story but white wheels against plastic textured arches is always an iffy one to me but not my motor, good to see either way

Cars coming along well now anyways tis all good

Looks good, you still gettin them done white i think having them done in anthrecite would look but if you do get them done white you should think about colour coding your arches etc

Don't paint em white, Vauxhall silver wheels always look boring to me just lately but nice colour change makes 'em 10 times better.

Nice anthracite colour (without any hint of blue!! lol) will look spot on mate
