Now with VR splitter new front tyres and top mounts , i think can hear a bit of bearing noise at the back so next job will be discs/pads/bearings.

Thanks and yeah i know what you mean, i prefer oem and although they are not to everyones taste i really like the earlier 'le mans' alloys so i might get a set of those and spray them gunmetal.

All cleaned up and trim blacked, rear wiper deleted and aerial shortened , now looks pretty much as i want it and aside from some new brakes and a new windscreen this is pretty much how it will stay although i would like to try the yellow headlamp mod. :smiley:

Looks good although I think you need to come down on the rear a little more to balance the stance better.

Oh and you missed a bit of trim (tow eye cover...).  :grin:

I noticed the tow eye cover too and rushed out to sort it.. :grin: and i've still got 205's on the back which catch if i go any lower so i'll replace them with 195's when they wear out then wind it down a bit more.
