Cheers guys :afro:

Here's a shot of how the rear is sitting at the moment:



My net optic trim arrived over the weekend and I got a chance to start sanding down this evening, only done 1 door handle at the moment but fairly happy with how it looks:

So low at the rear!

How do you cope with that as your daily?!

It's honestly fine as a daily, no scrubbing when the boot is empty, speedbumps can be an issue but as long as you're careful when going over them it's ok.

I was in Manchester at the weekend, it's not as bad as Sheffield is :grin:

Cheers guys, this happened today:



I'm now as low as I can be on these coilovers (note the amazing JOM build quality!)

I'll get a better pic of how it's sitting when they have settled again:



(Car is also filthy)

Jobs for tomorrow are front discs and pads and rear axle bushes!

Well remembered! Sold the Mk3 almost 2 years ago now :grin:

Yours was the Black Bora on LM's that you crashed wasn't it? Is that the replacement in your sig?
