Not posted in a while. Had the windscreen replaced due to it being chipped badly, bloke from autoglass did it as a foreigner for £70. Like the look with a full set of mudflaps so put the fronts on aswell, very low to the floor tho. also salt has took its tole on the car in the usual places due to the poo weather over xmas, bottom and front edge of the drivers door and the usual spot around the rear wiper. will need respraying in the near future. also which i would have kept my old -40mm spring and shock set rather than the coilovers due to the roads being so bad, constantly having to weive about to miss them all, anyone following will think im pissed. also brakes now have vauxhall stickers on them. just needs a good polish and wax when weather improves. comments welcome.

Thanks for the coments lads. Mudflaps are genuine ones, got them of a mate who had no use for them. Got to work polishing and waxing today after a harsh winter. pictures are poo quality, typical blackberry!! Want to drop the rear a bit more, atm the adjusters are wound all the way down, mite take them out see how it sits then. only problem is it bangs on the rear beam as it is, fancy it at about 80mm wat you reckon?

it wont be the rear beam that its banging on chassis, its the exhaust pipe nocking on the rear beam due to it sitting too low, try and raise it a bit if its possible.

i did mean the exhaust is banging on the beam. it would have to be stupidly low to have it banging on the chassy. :shock: not lifting it up mate, there would be too much forward rake, im gna leave it as it is. like i said i wouldnt have minded it a touch lower at the rear so its balanced with front but we will see.

noo i mean try and raise the exhaust a bit, twisting it and re-clamping it sometimes helps, or put your exhaust bracket in a higher notch in the rubber connector bit.

Thanks for comments. The exhaust is sagging and i need a new one reali, the baffles have gone in the centre section so it rattles and vibrates a little bit sometimes, so mite look into a cat back system.
