    Absolutely stunning Chris!

    You only need two tools in life - wd-40 and duct tape. If it doesn't move and should, use the wd-40. If it shouldn't move and does, use the duct tape.

    And if you can't fix it with a hammer,you've got an electrical problem!

    Damn this will look mega awesome if you lower it enough, needs to be tucking atleast 25% of the tyre wall

    Not get the rest of the bits fitted

    Ha ha we'll see. Might not go that low but thinking of dropping it maybe another inch at the front. Will see how I get on

    My constant work in progress 14a with added jdm'ness!!!

    Bit more progress today.
    The tyres were rubbing over every bump and around every corner so I bit the bullet and gave the rear arches a roll.

    I took it steady as I've never tried it before and have heard horror storeys of people messing up their paint etc

    The good news is I now have no more rubbing and the arches are looking good with only very minimal paint loss (on the lip and out of sight )

    Successful day all and all

    The new wheels look great in the metal!

    If I'd thought about it, I had some sapphire blue paint in my car earlier!

    Good job on the rolling - I need to do mine at some point soon. Will have to ask J very nicely!

    Cheers mate Roll and flare for me so I can get my Ultralites to fit how I want legally

    Hopefully I won't cock it up... Chris did a nice neat job but he only rolled a little to get clearance.

    Cheers terry. No problem with the paint. I used black smooth hammerite as the places where the paint chipped are up in the arch out of sight anyway

    I may get 12's for the rear in time, mainly for the dishu

    I'm tempted to bang the coilovers on the cc as I'm getting some money back this year that'll cover them

    Right I have bitten the bullet and ordered some coilovers. Should hopefully be here this week

    I now have a huge pile of parts to fit, just need the weather to get better and for my LR to fix itself so I don't have to do it. Got 2 weeks off next month tho so should be able to make a decent start on it
