Spring chamfer dude. I had a look with wheels off other day. Def a horrible looking edge to the lower of the spring sitting in the cup. Didnt take them off to take a look at the top of the spring though.

came down to a few things sell and go golf,
blow everything i can get me hands on, all on my car and well annoy the mrs!

ever noticed me and you daz are early morning post whor.es ? lol night shifts like me this week is it? just got in through the door, problem is i use a fortune in petrol from fairwater to llantrisant through the lanes as theres absolutely traffic and it gets a hammering all the way once warmed up!

why you want a respray matt? im not a huge fan of this unless nesasary and a tidy job will set you back roughly similar money to a atp turbo conversion

LOL DP is what i may do if i can get access to ramps, was gonna use a pit at my dad's work, but he's on hols now!

Spamco's were sold a while back, because i'd already replaced them with the FMIC! Although i've got some small tubing in the engine bay i could do.

Dont need ramps todo the dp, took me 10 mins to get mine off and 10 mins to get it back on... and I used halfrauds axle stands on the first hole.

Although the dp did almost fall off because guesstec ****ed it up.

dont reckon it'll be that easy getting the bolts off Toms, mine were a **** first time round. though if theyv been soaked for weeks they aint gonna get any slacker
