kedowan cheers dude 
Haimsey thanks  !!
Bruce  . More lows ftw!! Scott needs to get on with it haha . Cheers bro
Mark!! Didn't know you'd lowered it more mate . Seen a photo yesterday that looked pretty low though lol . I done the rear yesterday and the front today  .
Right I need some opinions . The finish on the D90s is quite frankly fucking shit ! Its annoying me quite abit now and I don't want to take it to shows with them like it . So im looking into having them professionally mirror polished like customcorsa's . I know I keep saying im going to change for M05s but everyone has them at the minute and I want the car to stand out!
Anyone had anything to do with mirror polished rims ? Can recommend places to have it done ? Obviously needs to be fairly local to me preferably .
Also my rear shocks are knocking severly at the moment so on payday this week im going to order a pair of Spax PSX rear shocks . You can adjust the dampers on them and according to a few people they don't knock when the car is lowered .

Lovely. You know my appreciation of lowz Nath haha. Polished 90's would look sexual . Don't know any places near you that do polishing, only places I know of are around my area. Would be a pain in the ass to do yourself I'd imagine since they've got large faces.

Josh!! Yeah I thought about that as you know . But I need them soon and tbh ive got a lot of adjustabilitly with the springs im using so with the spax having adjustable dampers its probably just as effective .
Jay thanks bro .
Nath thanks mate haha !!
Paul . Yes I know you love the lows lol . Yeah ive been considering it for a little while now . Ive enquired about a quote from a place down here but heard nothing bck yet unfortunately  . Yeah im definitely not doing them myself .
Kieran !! . Haha believe it or not the actual airdam itself isn't in too bad condition underneath! . The splitter on the other hand has taken a pounding . Cheers bro .
Right so I got my arse in gear tonight and started to do something with the front arches as I didn't want them hanging off for coombe on the weekend . The front wheels had already worn grooves in the arches when I had ther 195/45/16s on the speedlines when I first bought them . So I knew roughly were I needed to grind away . So pinched a grinder from work and brought it home with me tonight to attack the arches .
You can see were the wheels sit when turning , but offered them up and they seemed to clear the tyres nicely ! Ill be fitting them tomorrow night when a mate brings over some chemical plastic weld stuff for me to fix the clips and bolts in again . I think I need to cut away some of the inner plastic arch too but that's not to important !!
My tracking is bloody miles out too now , and unfortunately my old man cant bring the tracking gauges home until the weekend so ill have to make the trip to coombe with it as it is ! Hopeully the proxes wont wear out .
Will update tomorrow night when ive refitted the arches

Oh, did we speak about GAZ coilies before? My memory is like a sieve mate.
Good work on the arches, mine went like naturally from wear and tear! Should cure the problem though!

Haha worn out arches ftw  .
Well tonight a mate came round with this 3M chemical glue stuff! It was bloody great stuff!! I don't think the clips will be coming out in a rush anymore .
Sorry about the wank phone pics!! As you can see there on nice and snug as they should be now .
Went for a little drive round the block and it didn't rub on the arches but its still rubbing on the plastic inner arch . So will have to bring the grinder home again .

Na it's this 3M plastic glue . It's like 2 tubes in one and you put a nozzle on the end and the 2 glues mix together up the nozzle and make a chemical reaction so it goes off bloody solid and really , really fast haha . We used 4 nozzles just to do the clips as it kept going hard in the nozzles .

AAAh yeah i remember now, lest she thought ahead when booking it 
your candy red cage looks so much better in real life btw, though still think sticking with black all over would be better
