shes not going low!! im leaving it as it stands part from windows now, and just tidying the rest of it up

they actually have 26mm spacers on at the minute!!! they were only ones we had to hand!! ideally i think 10mm would be perfect, the front miss calipers by about 2mm and catch on full lock without spacers, rears sit agaisnt shocker and rear arm, and just moves if you put force on.

ive cleaned the car this evening, inside out :) looks gorgeous now with the wheels, drives and handles like you wouldnt believe, but ya get a lot of road noise from the 225 tyres!!

Looks good there Jay. And super clean too. You might start a trend with the 308 wheels. Can't say i'm keen on the towbar but needs must i guess

i was driving home and we had had some serious rainfall in the evening, the road was blocked with a puddle, no deeper than than half the wheels(so i thought)

well how wrong was i!! the puddle came over the bonnet, and the air intake is below bumper line, and the engine sucked in water :( cut out, manged to get it goin, but its def bent a rod, so im now buying a 110 crashed 406, for parts, looking for one with similar or less miles, as i cant let this car go, its too good, and in great condition, as you can see from you had it, not much has changed!!
