It's on apex springs I think it dropped at least 40mm, handles and rides great not too uncomfortable, but spot a speed bump and prepare for some awful noises :nailbiting:

Thanks. No good for me living and getting off a farm then :nailbiting:
 
What's the offset on the alloys and spacer size on rears?

I had a few comments from following cars today Davy, it's the splash guards in front of the front wheels. Hard plastic and make a real racket when they ground but bloody hell they're tough little buggers.

That's lovely looking. The black really sets off the silver paint.

Loving the smooth front bumper. I just fitted a replacement bumper and can't bear to stick the horrible plate back on!

I can't understand why a front plate is required Dino. Motorcycles don't have to have one ...................... :whistle: They plain spoil the looks of nearly all cars.

Yeah my number plate was on the floor one day, I've not got round to fitting it as it's such a big job..... :whistle:
Tony I usually get scraping from right under my bum if I ever have to go over speed bumps

You should see a doc about that itch, dragging your behind over speed humps could prove dangerous...
 
We wouldn't need front number plates if there weren't so many villains and bad drivers. It's unfortunately a necessary 'blot' on the work of car designers.

Do you think a motorbike style square plate would look good? Could mount it over the middle of the 'mouth'
 
It would look like Adolf's tash =))

Not sure, I did not want anything over the front pointy bit. I tried cardboard cutouts to decide. Also looked at the tow eye mount but whet with taping mine to the passenger side as flush as possible.

You have a relatively short reg so you can have one made up to legal dimensions without exess white space on the sides and tops. I hade my front done like that so its fully legal but as small as possible. Will have to dig out the measurements. One of the plate maker sites mentioned it, I think Demon plates - they only sell legal plates.
