will try and have a look when i am back at work
with any luck it will be a worn bush

thought you had solid mounts on yours

**Sanchez_** · 04-10-2008, 11:29 PM

solid mounted beam but poly'd arms ! going back to original bushes as they are more stiffer than poly arm ones

scott1987 · 04-10-2008, 11:43 PM

shop around mate. i had one when i was 19

Matt Baxter · 05-10-2008, 05:18 PM

Well this is how it looks now

The white bonnet is growing on me

Simmo · 06-10-2008, 03:46 PM

It's looking top-draw mate well done!!!

My old one felt a bit sketchy at the back end... Karl said most likely to be the old spongy beam mounts. The whole back end only has 3 mounting points to the car doesn't it?... i'd wanna make sure they're all as good as they can be. I take it you've tightened everything up properly?!

I like it... black and white's the way forward my friend!!! It'll save you removing your Rouse spoiler if you use your white bootlid too...

Yeah everythings tight bit of yellow paint on the heads of the bolts as i went round tightening everything up

(as per pic), set up the tracking today felt a bit better on the drive home still not right tho

but the rear beam bushes are a bit worn so will look out for a set of polly ones or poss solid mounts but they might be a bit harsh for the road

Jasesapphy · 06-10-2008, 09:23 PM

Matt i have poly bushed rear beam minus diff for sale and also a front headlamp strip for morettes in black painted with no cut outs,

Im only in Bournemouth, rear beam has poly bush beam, arms, Poly ARB and the ARB is the thicker 4x4 one
