Lol thanks, Yeh roads you dont know become a massive hazard! Forever looking for potholes or big dips in the road. What tyres are you going to use? With the right tyres you should get away with not having any rubbing on the front on full lock.

Update - Got myself a large square rear view mirror which I like for some reason unknown to me! It was an e-bay bargain so thought I'd try it out, I will reserve my judgement on it for a couple weeks.
Also got abit sticker happy, nothing ott just a couple on the rear window and a sneaky one on the new mirror.
Got some pictures of how the car is now. It will probably stay as it looks now for a few months, plans are to just spray a couple bits, a/b pillars etc, and just keep it clean. Oh, and look into buying a bloody camera!

Next big mod will be in september/october and that will be new wheels. Looking at 14" banded steels.

Yeh I'm not sure on it yet. It obviously gives a wider view than standard, but it isnt like the standard mirror is restrictive of view so it does nothing much for practicality, I quite like how it's not rounded so looks kinda cool from the car behind me

Thanks
Probably either citroen or ford 14" ones, either 7j fronts 8j rears, or 7.5j fronts and 8j rears.

I've seen 2 or 3 sets in these sizes pop up for sale recently, so hopefully a set suitable will be up for sale after the summer.

Cheers, its sitting exactly how I want it now, based on how yours is at the front, and the fact mine is 10mm higher as standard, I'd say mine is about 80mm.
To get to this point I've gone from being at 35/40mm, Apex 50mm kit, Change to Spax 60mm springs...Then FINALLY stopped being a pussy and just got the Gaz's

Yeh the mirror is just a maybe for now

[LSOfreak]

haha ive lowered my car 4 times now aswell
started at 35/40mm
then spax 60mm, then gaz 70/75mm, now the gaz with custom springs
its an addiction going lower tbh

Yeh, we both should of saved ourselves some money and went straight for the coillies!

I cant see myself going any lower than this at the front, but once I've got some banded steels or something wide I'll lower the back another 10 or 15mm I think.

On a side note, got my mk1 PAS pipes on now, feels so amazing have power steering back, I actually got a thrill out of bay parking last night

how much clearance have you got between the mk1 pipes and the steering arm? as you know my cars not as low as your yet but it still touches on full lock

Still had to bend a part out the way, but once that was done theres loads of room (loads in comparison to how much gap I did have) I could go another 10mm lower and would still have a gap I think.
