Little update 22/5/13

Decided the rear wheels were too far in the arches so got some spacers,
Before


The spacers


And after


Also the front was sitting far too high
Bad photo to show how high


Wound the coilovers down some more


And how it sits atm after lowering it will probably settle some more by morning

Think there's still room to go lower maybe .....



Also bought this as I got a big stone chip
On my bonnet the other day can't make my mind up about it though :s










Will probably wind the fronts down a little more at weekend.
Thoughts and comments welcome

Bra would look good if it wasn't baggy, also becareful of your paint sweating underneath that. There a water trap and run the paint under it

Think it will be staying like it is for a little while longer cant get over speed bumps atm without it scraping. Wheels are close to the arches aswell. May raise the rear a tad

Ambitious looking to paint the brakes before pvs! Did you get the foliatec stuff? If your leaving it off the road while brakes dry it might be worth whacking the splitter on. I'll bring the tiger seal and gun for you tomorrow!

Is your bonnet open in the last pic?

So after taking those photos the other day and seeing my mates nova fresh from the paint shop (simontw) I decided to get a clay bar and some polish and set to work ...
These are the before pics








After clay barring just before polish


Used this to polish it (apparently really expensive around £100 I got told ... Not sure If that's true though


After being polished
















Just need to finish it off now by cleaning the alloys as I ran out of time hopefully it will stay clean for PVS
