Done a fair bit to it since I got it, just got new brakes to put on and it will be on the road.. Wheels are staying silver for the time being, could do withut spending the money on powdercoating for the sake of a few kerb marks..
Opinions welcome... shame it doesnt have a vauxhall badge or I might like it a bit more...

Superb 
Like these. I think they hold their money pretty well for 6-7 year old cars.

My nextdoor neighbour has a 1.8 zetec and an rs that both sit nose down with 40mm springs.. It sat nose down standard aswell, but yeh would look better lower at the back..

Agreed, I remember you saying you had some springs for it...
Looks spot on - centre caps were the bit most fubarred anyway weren't they? Therefore, not worth the hassle of powedercoating to get rid of a few marks atm. Looks tidy enough

Lol we got a bunny wabbit a few months ago, does that count...
Graham if it was an easy job I would but the bolts were siezed so I had to compress the springs in place when I changed them, wasnt fun.. Its not been driven yet so there maybe not seated right yet..

Backs are well easy! Just drop the bolts out the shocks which lowers the rear beam and out comes the springs, don't make excuses

Magnum Grey actually.. lol
Graham, the way I saw the back setup was that the shock wouldnt effect the beam itself, might take a bolt out and see if it makes it any easier.. Bought a fresh grindin disc this morning in preperation..
