Fitted the 40mm kit today  :smiley:

Car looks loads better for it, sorry it isn't a better picture. As soon as I finished it, I went out for a quick drive to see what it was like and I have to say that the ride is very similar to standard exept there is a lot less body roll when you get to the corners :grin:

Any way, here's a pic.



I will get some better shots when I'm next out in it (had a couple of celebratory beers so the car is going nowhere for the rest of the day).

Hi Drew,

Seen that Mk3 with the dished alloys meself........very cool, also seen a silver mk4 there too, parked up opposite.

I live about 8 miles out of Buxton and get there through Peakdale so I'm always going through there on my way to the big smoke  :laugh:

Have you been in the village club yet?? scary place to the out-of-towners

Are you up this way over the weekend?

Ha!! nice try mate  :grin:

There is a guy on here sellimg some off his Mk4 though, think he's wanting around £300 for 'em. They're BSA livewires, got them for £400 delivered with tyres off the bay  :laugh: :laugh:

Seen a few Mk3's up here but being quite new to the whole dub scene I know none of them  :embarassed: I do get a few nods though when passing. Seen a dragon green one in Buxton that is really low and a white 'L' plate with big gold wheels on.

I spoke to a friend of a friend the other day and the guy runs a website for a group of guys who are into their dubs etc. (Peak vag). They sometimes have a meet on a Thursday night at the Fallow Deer on the A6 just outside of Chapel-en-le-frith that I might have a run over to meet a few like minded people (most of my mates love the old fords)  :smiley:

As promised -
40-55mm drop. Rears still need lowered even more.
