Cheers for the pics!
Yeah ill post some up as soon as it get it back,
should have it back in the morning.

The mechanic said that the torsion was badly ceased and there was a stage where he thought i might of needed a new axle but luckily its finished.

They just need to test drive it and check a few thing's over.

dont ruin its handling with anything bigger wheels wise, keep it down 40mm with 195/45/15's on. slap something like eagle f1's on it. it'll handle amazing!

Thanks for the comments!
I would of loved 17's but its the hassle of removing the arch liners and all the stress on the drive shafts and cv joints.

Thinking about having a Dimma grill fitted next but will have to wait until pay day as i am now officially skint! smileys/smiley19.gif

16's would be nice but there a funny size i think!
Did you have to take your arch liners out?
