yeh i thought it would sit lower to be honest as they are supposed to be 100mm, but i like it and it may settle more yet... the springs are higher pondage so back end is quite a hard ride lol

cheers lads, yeh it is coming along qickly

Markus, the splitter isnt to bad to fit, although it was very fiddley haha! Obviosly a laguna is wider, so first of all i chopped it exactly in half..... and then trimmed abit off from the middle, and the end to match the size and shape of the standard splitter....

this one also had a lot of scuffs so ive sanded it down alot, so just will give it some back to black when the cars finished and cleaned properly

it came from a scrappers in barnsley, same as the one on my red corsa

it was on an estate with a load of other scrap yards....

'melvins motors' or 'melvins breakers' or somthing simlar, i think its called

but theres a few all next to each other so definatly worth a scout round if you go
