thanks mate, i will give you a shout as two of the rl7's arent group a fitment so i used ford nuts, which were the ones that stripped, the rear 2 were fine, can i convert the wheels to group a fitment?







damage to the car is wing, bumper, oil cooler, cooler pipe work, disc im unsure yet, got to have a proper look.


before this happened i was so happy with the car, was going really well, even with the suspension set up by my very own eyes
