[SIZE="7"]BIG UPDATE!!![/SIZE]

Well its the bit you have all been waiting for........ Yes the Enkei's and Lowering

I finally got round to getting this done as i wanted to show It a few times before I go and do some traveling!!

Heres some pics of during and after the work................

Wheel centres sand blasted ready for paint!!

All painted in BENTLEY ANTIQUE GOLD awating Stainless bolts

Rear dish painted too

Finished wheels with bolts fitted

Completed set :-)

Fitment.........Check lol

This is how u polish them............. Spin the wheels and rub LOL

Trying tires

I went for 185/60/14 Fedrals in the end

First trial Fitment before lowering

Needs some arch work!!

Not a lot of clearence between wheel and strut....... Even with 15mm spacers!!!!

STREEEEETCH!!!

Rear springs removed for some angle grinder action......... for now!!

One Coil Removed at the back!!

Fronts removed for same treatment!!

One coil off all round

Time for some Arch mods!! (Heres ma Lo-Rider Yo lol)

Rolling..........

Rolled, flared and painted............. Ill do some filler work on these at a later date!!

Since we had more arch clearence we decided to go lower at the front............... another 1.5 Coils off the front :-)

And this is the outcome

................

It can go a little lower at a later date but i need to get the exhaust fettled with first as its a little low..........I do need it to be drivable though as its my daily driver!!

Hope Ive redemed myself for my lack of speed on this project LOL

I see you parking on a double yellow line, you scofflaw!

Nice photos. I especially like the last one in traffic. It really shows off the stretch and the flare well.

Its not finished yet and it will be lower!!

However I cant go any lower until my exhaust has been modified as it sits really low!! This will have to do for now!!

To be honest the roads where i live are very bumpy with LOTS of speed ramps so I cant really "slam" it right down or it will be unusable!!!
