Hey Shady....if you do scrap it let me have first refusal on your bootlid as some w***er has just parked a transit in mine :cry: :cry:

Remind me nearer the time, I'll no doubt be putting up a breaking thread anyway so I'll take bits off before I take it to the scrapyard.

Only joking Buddy....need one now Mate. Accident has damaged the number plate and number plate lights as well as a big dent in the panel. Need to get it done sooner rather than later. Cheers anyway though.

Daily driven, splitter scrapes pulling off my own driveway, downpipe scrapes driving down my road, wishbone mounts hit the floor when driving down the lane towards my work

It gets its fair share of abuse

Some people don't have it so low because of particular areas they live in, or places they know they have to go. Mine's down quite low, and it's just about right, however lots of scraping has occurred under the car, the splitter I don't care much for, but the underside, that's a different story.

Besides, it's the owners choice to do what they want, with their car.

If Joe wants to put a VR6 badge on a 1.6 MK3, so be it, admittedly he's a bit of a gimp for doing so but it's his car, and  it's been modded to a very good standard so can get away with it (minus the lack of V6 noise when booting it).  :grin:

If kells wants to keep his car sparkly clean 24/7 so be it, people take pride in their work and possessions, so why shouldn't he keep it looking presentable.

If I want to scrap mine in August due to a broken engine, I will, do you know why?

It's my f**king car.  :grin:

Your going to be  :shocked: but very well said. :afro:

Fair play to ya Mate....I would love to go that low but would not be able to get on my drive and there's no way I am leaving it on the street to be used as a goalpost.  :grin: :grin:

On your guys 120m drops have you had your arches rolled? Mines dropped 60 and is on 16/195/45's and can be a right old pain, so don't really want to go lower, even though I want to. I like being able to throw friends in the car, but even 3 up is super cringeworthy due to the noise at the back
