Awesome, thank you for that. Will have a read through them properly when I get in from work! :-d

Hey guys, first off if this is a massively asked question, I apologise, I had a quick look round and a search, but the search needs 4 characters in it to work... But basically, the shortened down story is I had/ have my VR6 up for sale with the intention of flogging it and buying an S2k/ Z3M Coupe with my dad and sharing it as a track day car.....however, the car went in for its MOT yesterday and its failed on a few things, the most worrying of which, being a crack in the floorpan that needs welding, as well as both sills needing attention, the latter isnt so much a problem as I know they're l

Just a quick snap from the other night's meet at Ace....probably the last pics of it on the CL's, gonna be trying the silver bumpers back on over the weekend and seeing which I prefer!

Nah its fine mate, they came in at £630 direct from the factory. Falkens were about half that again Had a quote of a company called Balance Motorsport who quoted over a grand and a three week wait. Spoke to the factory following a set I missed out on, on ebay, and got a sizeable discount and picked them up the following afternoon. :-d

Added a bit of retro goodness to the car today with some genuine Mattig DTM mirrors....I can now officially see naff all out of them, but I do rather like them Interior is back in bits again, with no door cards on the inside. Thinking of getting them flocked whilst they're off...might just leave them off for now, although the lack of arm rest is properly distracting after a bit!

Have to say mate, this is absolutely fantastic....I'm another thats sat and read all 52 pages. Massive inspiration for mine. Hats off to you!

It'll be run as a sort of semi-sleeper for a bit with the full CL trim....but the eventual plan is more of an A59 spec racer, stripped out, forced induction, properly wide arches and aftermarket bumpers....but that'll be a way off yet as having worked out what that will cost, will take some time to complete to a spec I'm happy with! It's likely to come together and look awesome, or fall apart in a world of fibreglass and filler

Cheers bud, it's one of the reasons why I went for anthracite! Hides brake dust a bit better! Haven't washed the car since I bought it which is quite bad of me!

Also...some better pics with a decent camera:

Cheers guys Couple of other bits been added, more CL spec'ness... Oh whats that...the bbs are up for sale?? (someone buy them so I can buy more stuff for this!) Also got these to go on aswell, just the rain started (again) so had to call it a day, after 5 minutes And a shonky one for good measure: All pics taken on my HD 12mp Blackberry camera! HA! Got one or two other bits planned/ needed...CL side strips, mirrors (thanks to some arse in the car park cracking the casing on mine and one or two other bits. Need my arches rolling as well, anyone recommend anyone in the Midlands for thi

cheers mate. But I will agree with RCF. My front splitter currently has more cable ties than actual splitter material to it. Multi-story carparks, speedbumps and adverse camber in the road, do result in massive amounts of scrapping, but that always is a by product of a lowered car.

My old one; And current one; Both pretty much on the bottom of the coils. Current one is, but the previous one was on far superior coils. No scrubbing with people in the back or with a bootful on either of them

Wheels now fitted....happened quicker than I thought :-d Brakes next, then change of coilovers & exhaust and then hit the interior up before sitting down and working out how I can justify/ fund FI.... So much for not spending money on this one!

Trial fit went well; And dropped down onto the wood; Think I might just get away without rolling the arches with a 195/40. Might add a small spacer on the front so I can camber the top in a little more as its sitting rather close to the coil at the mo. One more as well, because I'm crap at keeping stuff quiet! They look massive on the last pic! :-d Massive amount of space for the calipers behind the spokes, stupid amounts really! Really looking forward to Friday now so I can get the tyres on and start tweaking the ride height and finally get the alignment sorted. Cheers, J
