How do those front tyres not rub!! :shocked:
Looks cool but imo the back needs to come down or the front up a touch! :huh:
Are you painting it purple?? That would rock! :afro:

think i managed to get the height just right for no rubbing. also the back does look quite high on the pics but in person it looks just as low as the front, its weird. Like on some pics it looks like you could put your hand on top of the tyre but you actually cant because the wheel is up in the arch..

Haha! Sounds like mine! :grin:

Worth a try if you get a second bonnet :)
Other alternative is to do a photoshop?
