looks awesome. For some reason it looks like your fenders are wider.

Maybe I'm too old, but I don't understand the skinny tires on a wide wheel, it looks like ****.

it won't fit and will rub the fender otherwise, i don't like the look when done excessively but this looks nice.

Okay, this car is full of win. I'm loving it. You did not disappoint.

Get some US spec headlights. It'll look good with your color.

cheers Krip,spent today remeasuring and adjusting the coils. Brought the back up just under ten mm so the rear arch to wheel rim matches the front and increases the forward rake a bit but next job is hopefully notch the rain tray and bring it all back down although I need to order new rear springs to go with the front notch
