im not sure if its classed as 2x2 as it is not like the( show) carbon ,on one side the carbon is going from 10 o clock to 4 then on the other side there is another layer going from8 o clock to 2 then it is machine sewn down the length of the roll every 5 to 6mm ,i hope that makes sense .but carbon is carbon after all & the best bit ,its cheap & it was always going to get painted any way

mk2 looks stunning altough it sat a little too high for me i would of dropped a wheel size so i could get a bit more room round the arvhes (only my opinion)
was the first time id saw the mk1 is that a zackspeed kit?

as for the mk1 the front looks like a zakseed group 2 front wings & whats left of the front spoiler ,as for the back i think it came off carlos fandango,s anglia or a cut dowm oil drum

right slight change of plans today my rear cradle used to look like this
now it looks like this
this is what i cut off today
this is what the front link mount is going to look like i was not happy with the look of the first one
and this is what the rear link bracket will look like (cheers markk) i took your advice & design .it will now be tied into the diff using the bottom 2 bolts.

the link arm brackets always looked like an after thaught & didnt look right doing it this way it will look 10x better its a learning curve for me as i have never made suspension before , it will work a lot better than the standard cossy stuff as it is infinutely adjustable & will not change geometry setting during the full travel of the suspension unlike cossy rear beams

or would it just be a matter of fabbing up different mounts?
would the standard type shocks be man enough do you think?
