Hammerite should do the trick. Halfords sell all sorts of paint.

No body roll anymore, just a bumpy ride instead. Actually its ok on good roads, its just the shit roads where it really bounces.

This is my sport down 60mm on 15's.
The rear doesnt look as low as it is because I was parked on a slope.

Just looked at my pics again for the first time since saturday and already my car is much lower. To touch the rear tyre u have to put your hand up inside the arch
Driving 400 miles over the weekend probably did the trick

I didnt just drive around for 400miles to bed them in. Had to drive from Milton Keynes to Hatfield. Hatfield to Hertford Town. Hertford Town to Southend. Southend to Milton Keynes. Then sunday it was Milton Keynes to Rockingham(corby), Rockingham to Milton Keynes, then drove around Milton Keynes for a bit in the evening.
Petrol in southend is insanely cheap compared to MK. 70.9p for unleaded at Shell compared to 75.9 for the same in MK
