It will do i suppose.
looks fucking mint under there Mat you must be well chuffed, ggr does the rear arm bushes but they are Ł80 each iirc
Thats the main reason I will be painting my arms/ beam in 2k as I'm told poly bushes aren't up to the job??

Cheers Matt..... Well to day nipped down to pick exhaust up as I'm going to polish it so it's like new... But realised its one of GGR hand made 2 piece.... So wouldn't fit in the car..
Then realised I'd missed two brackets for the rear anti roll bar when I took bits for powder coating so I went to the powder coaters... Where they said if I blasted them in there cabinet they would throw them in with other black stuff free of charge... So I blasted them and they turned out great....so tomorrow I'm going to get exhaust picked up in a van and off to Craig @ distinctive detail so me and him can crack on polishing it... Hopefully with this kit..vvvvv
And a few pics of my camber shims fitted..ect...

We aim to please,plus there is only really room for one job when its something like this. So it needs doing reasonably quickly so other jobs can be done.

A mate of mine has a big polishing machine that bolts to a work bench, I could have borrowed it for you, if you need it for anything else give me a shout
