Just lowered my MKII (Now with pics!!)
« on: 02 April 2005, 23:32 »
by 40mm, I must say I'm well chuffed with the kit from Euro Car Parts. For £187 through Stuart at the Leeds branch it's an absolute bargain!!!!

I'll post up some before nad after pics tomorrow when it's light, look spretty low already and I'm sure it'll settle a bit over the next couple of weeks.

A big thanks to Lewy for dropping my old struts back from the bin this afternoon, you're a top dude.

Did it myself with a can of paint from halfrauds. It's pretty easy if you don't gomad and try and get a good coverage straight away. ANd make sure you use some plastic primer first.

Had a bit of experiance at doing this tho as I have aprayed a couple of sets of arches on the mini with spray cans.

Patience and taking it easy will give good results and cost far less than getting a spray shop to do it.

That's right, I had mine dropped by 40mm and it took a few weeks to get down the the right hight  :wink:

Looks really good though mate  :wink:
