Well
lowering was fun over the weekend!
Friday night I rolled the arches all round, trimmed the inner arches where I thought it may scrub, then lowered the car quite a bit.
It looked fine, front tyres a bit close to the bumper, but they're big tyres, I thought it would be fine!
But.... it wouldn't move without scrubbing like hell!
So we removed the inner arches at the front (going to make some thin covers to stop the inner arches getting gunked up)
Trimmed where the bumper meets the arch, raised the front 5mm and it was drive able and looked like this.
Saturday night I raised the whole car (and lowered one corner to make it sit evenly!)
Trimmed the rear inner arch where the bumper meets the arch.
And trimmed the fronts a bit more.
It now sits reasonable and can be driven as hard as I like with no scrubbing at all
Pictures as it stands now
and with my mates Mk1
My ducktail also turned up from Vindi and the quality is brilliant.
Fingers crossed I will be painting and fitting it this week
