Update:
Finally got it lowered 40mm yesterday, looks so much better and not on stilts!
Started the spraying of the bumpers last night so should be able to get a few more pics of the car up then.





And heres one with me doing a test run of my new front bumper and grille  :dance:

You can always put a Redtop in it. That would fill the space nicely.

I would love too but insurance will actually rape me in the rear at the minute. So until im 21 which is quite soon actually i cant. But will be looking around for a good c20xe middle next year or maybe a LET depending on wether i would like to rub in lube before hand or not  :lol:

Chris had a lot of bad look with that engine. Shame as it cost him his van.

 Right, here are some photos, side skirts are yet to go on, and the car needs a good t-cut and polish but colour match is pretty good

Good luck with the search for a LET mate, they're like rocking horse poo round this way. :search:
Will make it a lively beast if you get one though. :good:
