Well wee update today, got the front d/s wheel sorted, must be a slight buldge in the tire as it was cathing on the shock so swapped a back wheel around with it and its now 110%. Had her out on a wee run and a mate took a few snaps so will put them up tonight, also got the set of front springs for MOT and rears will be collected soon also
