new front arms, bushes and track rods fitted as the old ones were past there sell by date. if you're going to tackle this yourself a 21mm ratchet spanner is your friend! Had a good nosey and check round rear subframe, no issues (wasnt expecting any but best to check when possible



also fitted the thicker spring pads, sits how i want to now, just sociable. (£20 per side...robbing bastards)



Geo settings



need to do some more reading into this to get the front camber bang on, there are ways to do it with oem top mounts by taking a nipple off (oooerr) and elongating the holes a tad (will do till it inevitably ends up on coilovers)

gave the bay a clean too and checked all fluids



Need to get the proper camera out now it sits better.

I had black grilles at the start but they were matte and chipped easily so that put me off.

I think the ones on lee's car look great.

Just think it looks too black. The chrome grille surrounds would go with the chrome wheels

Looks stunning, but that's definitely black in the latest pics proper mind boggling how sometimes it's blue and then black.

It's dark blue.

When clean, and polished/wax it appears very black. Stick it under a light and poof it's blue. Odd colour!
