A friend was look at the car last night and mentioned that the left front wheel seems to be closer to the door than the other side, so after looking it does.

It must be an optical illusion, and it's getting lowered tomorrow :)

Would a wishbone from a 1.4 fit as I have one of them from my old one I never got around to fitting.

The tyre is legal but close but it's getting parked until it's sorted. only had the car around a week so getting the little problems sorted then get some new tyres all round. Was going to lower front and back tomorrow but going to do the wishbone aslong as the 1.4 fits it.

I think it makes it look further back because you have no arch liners as well, should get some really to protect it from going rusty :y:

Just seen an Icelandic grey breaking broken in Upton (ponte), if you still need parts. Luke Shaw was his name on Facebook.
