So on the way home from work on Saturday evening in the snow, had a bit of fun on the badly untreated roads. Bit of lock to lock drifting action - felt like a pro! Shame i can't do it in the dry!  Anyway, got all the 7 miles home with no bother, that was until i got to the end of the cul-de-sac i live. Got it stuck on a kerb, and ended up 'polishing' the rim!  Pic doesn't show it too well, but you get the idea...
And with overtime being rationed at work now, the TH-Line dream is in tatters till it comes back -then i can smash the O/T again!
So i'm now at a crossroads with what to do with the wheels colour wise. Do i have the damaged one powder coated black again, or do i have a new colour? Hmmm....

How much for wheels?
Undertray...
Fitted to my car (origional version), is now waterjet cut, bolt holes elongated for better fit adjustment and aluminium support moved for better support.
Been on my for 2 years so been using the origional as a tester to improve the later.
Sold one to a time attack guy and another on ebay...my design you see, cheaper and longer than any others i've seen.

Managed to borrow an arch roller in preparation for some spacer action! 
These tools are flipping amazing! Can get the arch pretty much to any shape you want!
So here's the action shot
And this arch rolling has allowed my to drop the front some more. Will probably go lower again at the front at some point but need to work out how to get the rear end lower. Currently running on just the rear springs without the adjuster cup in place. Picture on a postcard please!
And here's the results of the arch work....
Must.Go.Lower.....
....and put the wipers down after washing and taking pics!

Surely you can't go any lower than that?

That looks awesome. I think they always look better with a bit of front rake anyway personally. Looks spot on like that!

Could I be a pain and ask you to email over the photos you have got to me, as I would love to see some more other than the limited few on the net?

Bought some 20mm hubcentric spacers for the rear last week and just got round to fitting them today. They super close to arch and do rub, especially when the cars loaded up. So they're off for now till i sort through the four options i have to make em fit...
1)More stretch on the tyres
2)Camber
3)Machine a few mm off the spacers
4)Flare the arches some more
I'm swaying towards skinnier tyres or taking a few mm off the spacers, but the wheel sits perfect for how i want so looks like skinnier tyres it will be!
So these are the spacers...
While i was at it, i decided to give the wheels on one side a colour change seen as they were kerb damaged from the snow. Its meant to be a Ford Bronze but looks more like brown! It has grown on me loads but i need to get some better pics to show them in a better light!
