Bit lower in front and it's there


Far better looking and classier than some Merc scrap

Looking good dude, Get rid of the arches and it will look stunning.

(Front could do with being lower imo)

[zaust]

I still say loose the arches kiss kiss.

funny enough i have some 60mm springs sitting here aswel

[cliffybabe]

The best thing about the tyres going on was the amount of involement i had, I helped get the tyres off and get the bead to pop onto the rim

We had to mount the tyre from the rear of the wheel so we didnt damage the polished lip's

Played with the bead blaster what a bit of kit

Plus the lads down the shop had a laugh aswel bit of banter etc, Another guy turned up and saw me fitting the tyres etc and thought u worked there I told him i was on trial

Love the passengers in the rear
Looking nice, but could do a drop all round imo

Cheers dude, It has a 40mm all round at the min, but the front is gonna be a 60mm drop soon

[Rav335uk]

Ah, Alpina drop

[cliffybabe]

Ah, Alpina drop

nothing wrong with a 60/40 drop

TBH its low ebough at the min round here with speed bumps etc, but it needs to come down that extra 20mm

[Rav335uk]

I raised mine as it kept bottoming out on the flippin speedbumps,as i have a stainless zaust now.So no point in damaging it.But these cars are meant to be dropped.

Im gonna give the 60mm drop a go and take it from there, whats the worst that can happen a smashed sump

[Rav335uk]

Had 2 of those aswell, and getting racked off with the idiots who build these.
Why can't they stick to one uniform height

theres some speed bumps round here which ive seen take exhaust systems off

[Rav335uk]

I did have it dropped 60mm all round yrs ago.
Then took it to 40mm, then back to oem height, much happier now tough, saving money

[cliffybabe]

well done on your trial!

cheers dude

[raj1980]

i want your rims, sell them to me

[Scruffymurphy]

The tyres and wheels look great. The front is a bit high alright.

Chrome arches are wrong in so many ways.

[cliffybabe]

Raj, Sorry dude aint happening

Scruffy, Ill ignore the arch comment but i agree the front needs to come down

And its just past the MOT flying colours

[maxfield]

And them tools are the business. Remember first time using one.. Certainly wasn't expecting the noise
