Nice! Hoping mine sits as low as that. Not sure i could live with the stretch on those wheels but obviously it's for a reason lol. Have you rolled the arches and removed the inner liner?

Only stretch on the back, the fronts are tucking but still don't hit the arch but took the linings out so it can go lower going to cut the arches and bond on the arches so it doesn't catch on the bolts
Cheers for the comments everybody .. Getting trailered to the bodyshop on Saturday Aswell

So the car got took at the weekend, thats it away to the bodyshop now:
(always handy having a mate that owns a recovery company lol)
cars away for a full respray, more smoothing and to fix the damage at the rear that some of you would of seen at trax
ive been quoted around 3-4 weeks and ive given them my camera aswell to get pictures of every stage of the work
so hopeing i get the car back around the start of july then its a mad rush to get the car ready for scottish modified in july
i also got accepted for power and style awards at pvs but the car of course wont be ready for that but i applied a while ago which i think was a tad optimistic

Awesome! Looking forward to seeing it when it's back! Is there a reason the bumper is off?
Are you keeping the old one or fitting a new one?

Was ok, just not up to my kind of standards .. Smoothing more, replacing bits and stuff so makes more sense than getting sections painted

You set it to a driveable height before setting off, I assume you don't understand how air ride works?

good one to show how low and how it sits .. pretty spot on in my eyes
then it was time for the windows to come out
then the serious work began off with the rear panel, proper heartbreaking seeing your pride and joy like this but i know its for the good
then my new sticker a wee 2 fingers up to all the people my age running about in cars finaced by mum and dad who say my cars shit and is a waste of money
