got car back today.............................

heavily trimmed back rear arch........(looks ok as you cant see it)

but took it out and pushed it on a roundabout few times just to get the springs settled in and check for rubbing

nothing on archs but the splash gaurd in the arch is rubbing a bit

wish i had held out and got 40`s but not to worry think il get coilovers soon so as to adjust the height a bit WHEN I CAN AFFORD IT

FUCK IT ITS STILL GETTING RAGGED UP THE STRIP
