Fit them flush as your first pic, as you have already established your shocks are too long so it will sit better when you get the correct ones

Ive been meaning to paint the inside of my rear tub where you see through the arch black but after 1200miles its not orange in there anymore!

Looks good with the black arches but im biased as i have the same!

I liked the contrast between the orange and black so much i went for a black scuttle too :cool:

Looking good Andy, does look much better with the black front and rear wings on - as does most dark colours.

AND YES i would notice if you took / borrowed my dampers especially with a track day coming up next week. But your dampers are way too long will just have to splash out.

If I say the price quickly it doesn,t seem to scare me so much :eek: :D

I was thinking of just having 2 for now, for the rear of the car, then save up for the front 2 later on :)

I had left my phone at home on charge, just checked it.... thats great thanks Andy.....that,ll be another job to cross off the list...finish the dashboard:cool:

Oh yes.....:D

Going to wait until Wednesday to book to make as sure as i can of the weather but it should be okay, and yes David it will be Teesside - best value there is for a full day racing plus my lad can have 30mins of karting at the end.

Will be a good day Mark and anyone else that wishes to join us......AndyH
