Cleaned my GTS today

[beau]

Taken me about 5 hours, but finally done, really happy with the look of the car now ! Looks so much better.

That looks fantastic!

That looks fantastic! Are speed bumps a no go because they scrape or because they would shake your fillings out? Are they springs from FD?

It looks lovely

 

[Contigo]

Nice

 

[beau]

I bet they do.

The standard ride height on mine scrapes the underside over some speed bumps, lowering the front will scrape all the time!

OK, I'm going to stick my head over the parapet. Sorry chap, don't like it. Looks like it's weighed down. I get trying to fill the arches (to a degree) but that's just not for me.

Your car, though, so you enjoy

Because it's so low, the wheels are completely lost inside the wheel arches.
To me, the wheels now look like they need wheel spaces...however it's so low the tyres look like they would hit the arches with spaces fitted.

I think spacers would be interesting to see on it. I'm a bit peeved at paying what people want for GT spacers, though.

In any case, its a stonking car!

They made my Merc to Maser space saver adapters.
They make spacers too!

Oooh what sort of price. I'm not being funny but I could make the things myself, if I had stock, tools and time

Couple of years ago, £156 the pair.
Bolted ones though changing the PCD.
If just spacers, expect cheaper.

I am putting spacers on it and you seem to be forgetting I'm young haha, we like 'slammed' cars

Just don't put those wonky-angled wheels on which poke out wider than the tyres, Beau.

I was all set to get mine lowered last year (just 10mm or so) but it scrapes its front undertray at every opportunity anyway so I'm actually glad that I didn't. Plus Autoshield said it would "handle like a fish" if I did.

[CatmanV2]

Oh my *eyes*!

[mjheathcote]

Oh yes, the slug look!

Camber is just terrifying to me as well! I suppose we should be grateful that he's not got undersized tyres.

Sorry Beau
