Picture 1 for me too Andy

As said, check the shock lengths out, may be something you can do to reduce the rear ride height

Cheers Ronnie,

I,ve got the rear shocks setup as low as they will go, just before the spring loses any tension on them,
looks like I,ll need to get the correct length rear shocks.... birthday, christmas,birthday , christmas prezzies maybe

Cheers Dave , I think the black arches really bring the car "Together", a nice contrast with the orange, glad I decided to do the roll bar black now too

Cheers TT...... the indicators are on with thanks to Ash for donating his extensions to me

Another question to ask............. should I paint the orange part of the rear tub thats inside the wheel arch to black?

cheers

No, keep it as it is.. Otherwise it's going to look a bit like mine but orange rather than (secret)
